Funkster Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Rich; nice car. nice build. My father had a 1959 Plymouth Fury two door hardtop, aqua with cream roof and browm.tan interior. also had 58 belevdere dark green/ lite green and a 1960 belevdere two door hardtop, maroon and red interior. Just loved that them 50's and early 60's cars.
Ramfins59 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks Terry. I too love all of the cars from the '50's. Christopher, no I usually will not modify any of the promos that I redo other than paint, BMF, mirrors and antenna's.... and adding whitewall tires.
mnwildpunk Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Got to love those big ol' mopars and yours is awesome great job yet again
geetee66 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I dig it, Rich! In fact, I love most 1959 cars, as they seemed to peak in their styling excess before the new decade. As always, you have built another beautiful car. I duly doff my cap.
Ramfins59 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Thank you Dave and Guy, I appreciate your kind words. Yes Guy, the cars from 1959 were the epitome of gaudy styling excesses, although I think the 1958 cars had them beat with chrome and stainless trim. I love them all..
StevenGuthmiller Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Thank you Dave and Guy, I appreciate your kind words. Yes Guy, the cars from 1959 were the epitome of gaudy styling excesses, although I think the 1958 cars had them beat with chrome and stainless trim. I love them all.. Yeah....it's kind of a toss up between '58 & '59 isn't it. Although I think the designers of the cars in '59 must have been on something. Only someone who's tripping a little could possibly come up with a '59 Caddy or Buick! Steve
Ramfins59 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah Steve, in '59 the designers seemed to be trying to outdo each other with the "space age" styling of fins. I think the '59 Oldsmobile was one of the oddest looking cars while to me the '59 Ford was the tamest of them all.
Quick GMC Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Is the A Pillar broken on the driver's side? It's a very nice build. I am finishing up a Ferrari F40 and I broke both A Pillars while polishing. They're so easy to damage.
mangodart Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Nice 59, when could we have a brand new kit of this magnificent 50ies model ??
Ramfins59 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Thank you Danno, Cameron & Emmanuel. Cameron, no the A pillar was not broken. I try to be gentle when polishing so I don't break any of the roof pillars. Emmanuel, I seriously doubt that a new kit of this car will be made. We'll just have to be lucky to pick up one of these promos. Edited September 8, 2014 by Ramfins59
TooOld Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 How did I miss this . . . another beautiful build Rich ! And my favorite year too , much classier than the earlier years .
Ramfins59 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks a lot Bob, I appreciate your kind words.
BirdWatcher Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Great job Rich! Beautimus! As you know, I'm more partial to the 60's and 70's Mopars, but builds like yours make it difficult for me not to appreciate the beauty of the older Mopar styling.
Ramfins59 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you Buzz and Tommy for your kind comments.
Ramfins59 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks a lot Alan, I really appreciate it.
Ramfins59 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Thank you all very much for your encouraging comments.
Southern Fried Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I likes it. Had a Friend in High School that drove one briefly (Another story all together) BIG Ol' car!
