The model looks very nicely detailed..... my only concern..............
I may be wrong but I don't believe that the Galaxie rear fender trim was standard factory equipment for a Ranch Wagon...possibly a dealer installed option (?). When you do a Google search, you do see the odd one with the trim, but many restorers just add bling whether it was available or not. Maybe someone knows for sure.

Well, I think it looks fantastic. I love the colors and I am very much interested in owning one.

Yes, I have a comment! I better get one! what will be your second issue?
any GM fastback will do!
the wagon looks great, and even has undercarriage detail...that's a first for white metal.
What will be the starting prices for these?

59 Wagon
Hi Jeffery; I owned a 59 Ford. The one thing wrong is the back up lights should not stick out of the Bezels. As long as you have the bling on the rear I would prefer to have the full 500 side trim.

Oh yeah, and I would like a windshield on my model 😉
I hope I am not being overly critical 😁

59 Ranch Wagon Subject Matter Photo
Fellow Forum Members,
Thanks for the feedback. The models will only improve with critiques, so keep it coming! I respect everyones' opinion and welcome the free flow of ideas.
Here is a photo of the real car that was used as the subject for the model. I fell in love with the car, it's styling, the colors, and all the details.
The goal is to build the best models possible. This is a 100% hand-built brass master. The model is a prototype.
I'm hoping to have these out soon. secondcitymotorsatgmaildotcom.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Make mine with the dog dish wheel covers. Unique for 1:43rds but very era typical for 1:1's.

I agree, and would prefer them on the wagon. I may have missed it, but are the Ranch Wagons to be white-metal or resin?
