*PICS* 1962 Thunderbird Sports Roadster--one of my favorite diecasts for all its working features.
The intricate top mechanism, swing-a-way steering wheel, opening center console, tonneau cover, etc. In 1962 they initially were offered in 7 colors. Later in the model year, an eight color was added, but that's for another day. The following pics represent the Sports Roadster in Silver Mink. Enjoy!

Incredible work Pete. Love the new color. I'd add skirts though

George the skirts were an option delete on the Roadster as they wouldn't clear the wire wheels.

Great job! I'm sure applying the metallic silver was no easy task.

Pete, you're workmanship in removing and re-attaching the delicate 'chrome' fender trim is outstanding !
