Couple of Compact Coupes from the '60s

These both look excellent and yes, they really display quite well apart or together.

And a 1963 Mercury Comet S-22 coupe

The Mercury Comet is outstanding. Is that one that you did?

61 Volvo P1800 (RE 22C Brooklin) 

63 Corvette (Brooklin BRK 21) 

66 Sunbeam Tiger (LDM 94 Lansdowne/Brooklin) 

67 Corvair Monza blue (Brooklin BRK 139)

@john-quilter I like the early Mercury Comets and hope that Goldvarg will do the 2drht. or 2drsdn. from 1960 thru '65.  Sergio already has the '64 Caliente coming in the near future.  Station wagon versions of these would be much appreciated as well.

Yes, based on two different versions of the older diecast Trax Falcons.  And here is another, a replica of a family car from 1960 to 1966.

@jack-dodds Thanks Jack, for posting all these images, giving plenty to think about and research. This is a car I've never really given sufficient attention to.

@john-quilter Once again your models are inspiring. I wonder if you take photographs through the processes and have a file on all your model works?

@john-quilter As always.... just an amazing conversion/fabrication/modification! Great, great work. You know I like it!! 😎 😀

Well, here's my 1/43 Falcon and Corvair "set."  I like 4-dr models, when I can find them. "Bread & butter"  for me please. 😏 

@chris I like those, Chris! I think Whitebox made a '66 Dodge Dart 4-door sedan.

What I need to complete my set is a '64-'66 Plymouth Valiant Signet hardtop coupe. Anyone know ot one?

@jack-dodds Hi Jack, not being familiar with these cars, I am struck by how similar the '65 Mercury Comet front treatment is to that of the '65 Sports Fury. Something I'd not appreciated until seeing your white convertible, above.  

@charles-rockett This is quite right Charles and the Comet tail end is much more similar in general shape to the Plymouth than the Ford Galaxie.  Of course the Comet nose is also very similar to that of the the full size Ford.  

I do realize that I'm getting a bit off topic here, but Charles' comments and our pics of the stacked headlight design has made me remember just how much I loved that look.  I recall from past Forum comments that opinions on this feature are somewhat polarized.  I may be wrong on this point but I always wondered to what degree the canted look of Lincoln (1958 to 60) and Chrysler (1960 to 62) planted the seed of stacked headlight design.  Most of us recall that Pontiac led the way with its stacked headlight feature in 1963, with others following suit in '65.  I suspect that polarized popular opinion also greatly contributed to the "Big 3" offering stacked and traditional headlight design in their various divisions in those years; which added the excitement of '60s car design and motoring, including the awesome intermediate/muscle car category.  

PONTIAC '63 thru '67 (including '65 to '67 GTO)

FORD '65 thru '67 (including '66 & '67 Fairlane)

and Mercury's  stacked headlight '65, '66, 67 Comet

PLYMOUTH '65 thru '68

AND...don't forget AMC Ambassador '65 thru '68

and the only stacked headlight AMC Marlin...the '67.

And I forgot the two door Comet sedan also created from a Trax.   This was a four door but after Sergio Goldvarg's excellent blue four door came out i converted my homemade four door into a two door for a variation.

As originally built;

As converted, along with the Goldvarg sedan.
