Dear friends,

By collectors demand (this model mass production was sold-out in just nine days!) I was able to do a small run with only one new

color of the 1968 Ford Galaxie XL.

I was shocked to see how well it was sold, and so many collectors were not able to get it.

So here is the opportunity to get it.

Everything looks right  on this one!   Wheels, interior detail, stance, color, trim, wow-wee!    Just look (if you can  😏) at those center caps!

@rich-sufficool That would have to be a must have for you Rich. I have the blue one and it's a terrific model.

Geez, I didn't think I was that bad (...well, perhaps I am  🙄); I mostly gripe about wheels.  Wheels can make or break any model. 

I'm currently working on a 1/18 project in which I'm machining my own wheels - and I'm NOT certain I'll be happy even with those.  😮   But of course, that's all another story for another forum.    😏 😏 

For the record, there are countless replicas that I love and would never augment in anyway, there's simply no need to.   This beautiful Galaxie XL is one of them.  I can only suggest that Sergio consider producing a standard, base version like that of Rich's youth (shown above ).
