What's not to like?  A 1967 Plymouth GTX Hemi 2-dr hardtop in terrific copper & brown colors, that's about as plain & simple as it gets. HW61 did many variations of this '67 Plymouth, but this one really stands out. I would've love to have seen a "regular 6-banger 2-dr sedan"  release and 4-dr too. Oh, the possibilities.... 🙄 🙄 🙄

 

Ply GTX 67 1
Ply GTX 67 2
Ply GTX 67 3
Ply GTX 67 5
Ply GTX 67 4
Ply GTX 67 6
Ply GTX 67 7

Love it! I don't really collect this scale but I always like the plain-Janes, and the body style of the '66/'67 Chrysler Corp. intermediates has stood the test of time extremely well in my eyes. Impessive interior detail on this one too, and the color combo is great!

@moe-parr Funny you should mention that Barry. As a kid, I much preferred '68-'70 B-body Plymouths over these '66 & '67s but over time, I've come to really appreciate all this "right-angle-straight-line-styling."  I really like it now; it's very cool. 😎 😎 😎

@chris I love the '68/'69 too, and the '70 even more! For '66/'67, I rate Plymouth and Dodge even, but for '68-'70, much prefer the Plymouth.

This one looks great in any style and was a terrific H61 release. I am happy to have four of these '67 Plymouth mid-size automobiles in different guises and trim levels.

You'd rather have a Belvedere sedan with a slant 6? Really?

@mikedetorrice Yep! HW61 was batting 1,000  when these were released.

In model form, hell yes! I love scale 4-doors!

In 1:1 form.... I buy convertibles and 2-door hardtops!

I should so a "4-door-ONLY"  post soon.... trust me, I could fill a page(s)! 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

Whew!  That's a tall order. 😬 😬 😬  It would require many "fresh pics"  of 1/18 replicas I've never posted. But considering ALL THE EFFORT YOU put into your wonderfully produced videos (which I very much appreciate! ) by contrast, I'm barely breaking a sweat, therefore, I'll refrain. 🤐 🤐 🤐

@chris I can't get over my youthful prejudice when I'd rather walk than be seen driving a 4 door sedan, or worse, a station wagon (sorta like today's minivan). One's worst nightmare was to have to take Marylou to the prom in dad's car. It's a generational thing, I guess.
