1960 Ford Wagon Hubley

[bondo bill]

Here's a promo model that I found cheap because of the split in the hood and worn chrome. I'm still in the process of painting and finishing it. I want to alclad the chrome and finish painting and flocking the interior.

If you have any opinions on the wheels (I'm thinking chrome reverse or mag maybe?) or how to remove the discoloration in the windshield, please let me know. Comments welcome!

Here's what I started with:

Here's where I'm at right now:

Cool project Bill

Maybe the AMT '61 Ford windshield would fit?

I never knew those Hubley models looked that nice. That's a fine looking wagon.

Doesn't look like a 1960 model to me. 1961 ?

[Bill J]

That's a 61 alright. The AMT reissued 61 Galaxie kits are still around, there should be a match on the windshield.

[disabled modeler]

Yep its a 61 wagon... I have one its rough too...bummer love wagons.

Let the glass on white vinegar for a couple of hours then wash it very well. Next, take some cotton balls and polish it with 3M perfect it fine scratch remover, and it should be looking like a brand new piece.

Body color looks great and either wheel choice will look cool. Real nice work so far....

And the AMT windshield won't fit since the Hubley kit is 1/24. I have an unbuilt one I started a long time ago (molded in white). In a fit of masochism I opened the hood and started detailing the chassis with '59 Skyliner parts; that's where it sits now.

That one is the same as mine molded in white....shame the burglars stepped on it....now it needs a body,glass,bumpers to restore it.

That would look cool as a rat rodded wagon with the blanket seat covers and a surfboard up top
