These look good, Harvey, but I'm just not sure about those wheels.

True - very crude wheels for this day and age.

The wheels are totally wrong David. By painting them either black or to match the pin stripe it would make them more accurate. The model looks good however.

The rear overhang is unlike a Town Car.

Does anyone know if a stretched version was available, perhaps as a taxi?

I wondered about that too.

Interesting. I though the Olds models were their only foray into 1/43.

That is not an American Ford production body, is it?

It reminds me of that imaginary thing Solido did ages ago.
