Jimbo, I was lucky enough to get one of the Lincolns when they were issued. Glad I did, as it's one of the nicer images TFM ever came out with. Also have the burgundy one from Vicky's Gifts and the D4C convertible version. Just solid cars in my opinion. On the goosebump scale, I'll give it an 8 (out of a possible 10). Put all three together, a 9.5.

Hi Rick, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays

I have those three as well as the black one. There's just something about a black Continental. I'm even contemplating getting the Blue Sun Star in 1:18 just to have them all. I to love the FM 56 Continental.
