*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!

Pete, that is spectacular. I wish they would have produced one in that color. Great work!!!
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.
+2 What a game changer Pete !
Great Job!
Thanks all. I think the silver color makes it look more elegant. Other colors coming soon...

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