Hi - question re the 1961 Lincoln by Franklin Mint in turquoise...
Can anyone tell me did this model come with the wheel well chrome fender trim? In the review of this model on this site it has the chrome fender trim around the wheel well. But in pictures I have seen online, it appears to not have the chrome wheel well fender trim. Just curious...thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi Brad. I have two of these models and neither one had the chrome wheel arch moldings. I bare metal foiled mine.

All other FM '61 Lincolns on this site do NOT have chrome wheel-well trim...
The turquoise Lincoln in our database is owned and was photographed by Rich Sufficool. He is a collector but also a modeler. He, no doubt, chrome-foiled the wheel-well arches.

I just checked the model, Tony....
1.) I always do mods AFTER I shoot for reviews.
2.) I doubt I ever touched this model. I don't see any signs that this was a BMF add-on.
