Both are nice. I don't recall the '36 with the trailer.

The Thunderbird is just awesome

You hooked me the last time you posted photos of the ‘36. I had to have one, took a minute, but I finally found one of my own. It is very nice!

Two great sets of Ford pictures here Tony. I especially love that 1936 with the trailer. Thanks for both.

DAMN!  Two very nice models!  I'm sorry Your Honor, I passed on both of them.  In fact, I didn't know about the '36 in that color combo.  I do have the Maroon Hardtop Thunderbird and it is drop dead gorgeous.  As usual your photos are incredible.

John, after we did the LECC with Trailer, FM redid their 30's Ford Deluxe with the same trailer tooling as they made for our Limited Edition Club Car. Since many folks had the club car, the two tone version received little fanfare.

@perrone1

Thanks Tony for the response.... I could understand why the lack of fanfare.

Have both and both are great. The T-Bird detail is outstanding including the optional redline/ white wall tires.

Being I owned a 1:1 1965 Thunderbird convertible at one point I can say for sure that DM knocked this one out of the 1:24. Park!!!  Everything about it is spot on!   Even the up top which both mints often don’t get quite right is perfect on this  model.  The only thing I can say that would have made this 100% instead of 99% is the lack of an opening fuel fill door.  IMO This adds that much more realism to these diecast masterpieces!  I have the 64 coupe too which is equally spectacular and a must have.
