One of my favorite 1/1 scale cars. I have the model but not in this color which looks quite nice.

Since today is Star Wars day, I thought your Model Dose today might show something like a X-Wing fighter.

It's a nice model.  I had the Maroon version, and sent it back.  The turnoff for me was/is the rolled up windows on the passenger side.  I don't like it, and I don't get why Automodello insists on producing their models that way.  Plus too, being honest, I'm not really a fan of the '70 Lincoln.  But hey John, I love your great pics!!!!

This is by far my favorite of the Mark series.  Mom's first Lincoln was a 70 Mark III, she then got a IV, V and a VI.  When I got married I purchased a 85 Mark VII and then a 88.  When they went to the Mark VIII that was it for me.

Lucky you !!!! 

I have a friend that was the body shop manager for a huge Lincoln dealership down here in Costa Mesa California. 

I used to stop by and visit him all the time and look at what they were doing to repair the collision ones and then look at the new ones this was in 74 no wait 75 6 and 77 and up. 

Lots of time he had to take them home to make sure that the repairs were done correctly I remember one time we sat in one of those lipstick edition marks that was the one that was all white and had the red half top and the white and red interior man that was like being in the middle of a bordello we laughed our butts off !!!!

I don't have this one, but it's a beauty none the less. Great pics of course.
