1959 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER - CLASS OF '59 - ENTRY #5

I tried to find a little info on-line about what ward drove. I didn't go into a lot of depth on it, but the little bit of info I did find seems to make us both pretty much correct Rich. Apparently, Ward was a Ford man in the mid fifties, switching to Mopar in '59-'60. Someone seemed to have recalled seeing an episode with Ward driving a '60 Plymouth! Steve

That's REALLY nice looking Rich!

Hey John, thanks a lot. How's things back in "Nu Yawk"??

[Ramfins59]

Very nice !!! You were lucky enough to find a straight body, which is not easy with promo from this period !!! Why has it never been reissued ??...

It was re-issued Emmanuel. Back in the 80s by a company called X-el. This is an example of an X-el model which is why there is no warp. X-el made their kits from styrene. Steve

Sweet!

[Burnout]

Stunning model! Very nice work.

[Ramfins59]

Thanks very much for your kind comments guys.

Emmanuel, and anyone else who may be looking for one of these promos, at the moment there are 4 separate ones listed on EBAY...... but be prepared to pay some bucks for them.
