In amongst some models and parts that I got from John Roberts was a body for this BRK92 Ford Thunderbird Landau which had had the screen and front half of the roof removed, it looked as if John had been going to produce an actual Landau version of the car so I set about in my innocence to complete the idea. Found a screen that fitted reasonably well if a fraction to tall, stripped and painted the body and built it up. Later learnt that John had actually cut the front of the roof off the body to create a sun visor for another model! So it’s now sitting in my cabinet waiting for me to make a decision as to whether I should remove the remaining roof to create a convertible?

I would leave it as-is - too cool of an idea to kill it off! 😎
