my favorite T-Bird body style.....
I'm just not crazy about those redlines. I don't remember ever seeing them and they're a bit garish for this type of car.
(IMHO, anyway)

Had a 1:1 and agree with you on the WWs

The whitewall with redline tires were a factory option on T-Birds from 1965 through around 1968.

Great pics & thumbs up on the body style, but the red lines on the tires....
appear to over power the very washed out shade of light blue. Passed on it when it was introduced without regret.

Never noticed the red stripes b4 on this model. I remember them on various 1:1 cars in the mid 60s.

John this and the 64 coupe are among THE BEST models that DM ever turned out
I owned a 1:1 and they really really nailed every nuance of this model to faithfully replicate a 1:1

So true. I have a 1964 Landau hardtop and every detail of these two models is completely accurate, and everything is correctly proportioned. They really did their homework on these two cars.
