Created this 1966 Ford Galaxie convertible in springtime yellow, a replica of 1:1 car owned by a fellow car club member and his wife,
The donor car along with a previous conversion into a LTD four door hardtop. Now pondering a Country Sedan station wagon.

Altaya, I think it is one of the partworks series but they are relatively available on Ebay.

John: If you are pondering a '66 station wagon, how about a country squire? I'm also wondering, is this diecast or resin?

Too many Country Squire models out there, I look for something different. The Altaya item is a diecast body with a plastic roof.

@john-quilter Hey John, they look great. Is it possible to provide photos that can be enlarged? As another model enhancer, I appreciate your skills. Chuck
