Another look back at the Mint's Ford Fairlane. This group features a "bumble-bee" themed color group with one model from FM, one from DM and another from DM that came along for the ride.

@perrone1 I totally agree Tony. The Thunderbird was my favorite because I owned a 1/1 in this color when the model came out even down to the wire wheel covers. One of the cars I regret no longer owning because I traded it to my dentist for my 55 Imperial which is a beautiful car itself. A close friend now has the Thunderbird so at least I get to see it from time to time.

Exceptionally cool, my friend. My current dentist is also a car guy - mostly Lamborghini's. But another, super close friend of mine, and a familiar resident here, is also a great dentist. I think y'all know who he is!

John, this one of your best and they're all great. WOW! I've always loved the fifties yellow/black color combo on cars. Your diorama is so real. Not a fan of the T-Bird, I don't have that model, but I do have the other two. Confession, seeing how good that T-Bird looks in your photo's, I could become a fan. 
THANKS for another great start to my day.

OK, I'll be the odd man out. As a kid, I absolutely hated those yellow/black tutones.... and 6 1/2 decades later, I still hate it. ( I like your pics though, John)

So Rich, would it look better if it had a number on the doors?
