Yat Ming made this really nice '66 Mercury Comet Cyclone many years ago in several colors. Here is the yellow version in both it's normal top-down form and one with an added-on black or white convertible up-top.

That looks sweet! I had a 67 Comet Cyclone. Great car.

Thanks, Tony ! It is a cool car from Mercury and a really nice diecast model from Yat Ming. It was an inexpensive but well-done 1/18 diecast from them.
The informally applied convertible up-top is from a Rickco 1/18 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. A more permanent application would have removed the folded convertible top on the back of the Mercury for a smoother fit.

@perrone1 The '66 was a nice looking car but the styling tweak done for '67 was beautiful.
