From My Collection... '58 Ford

Here is a great old advertisement for the 1958 Ford 2-door, which I think might be a Skyliner. It is in similar colors to John's Sunliner convertible.

The car is somehow parked out on the apron of a big airport and I see actor William Shatner looking out of the window of the big Douglas DC-6. (that is an inside "Twilight Zone" joke !)

Anyway, it seems everybody (and I mean EVERYBODY) is looking longingly at the beautiful '58 Ford, and who could blame them !

@chris I will always remember your 1/18 built of this carrier. This was really impressive to follow you through the journey.

"...which I think might be a Skyliner."

It's definitely a Skyliner  and if look really close, way in the back, adjacent from William Shanter, standing next to the plane ......are the Skyliners.    😏 😏

Well, thank you Nickies; I'm honored but surprised so many "1/43 guys"  are even aware of much of what I've done in other scales, on other Forums.   THANK YOU! 

@jack-dodds Well said Jack. Chris dots the eyes and crosses the Ts by making sure the windows are closed and the wheel covers are not on the wheels.

@bob-jackman ....and lowering suspensions, to replicate that "tied-down"  look.  😏 😏  I've noted many times, "I DO sweat the small stuff."     It's nice of you to notice Bob; I'll ensure everyone on the top floor  is aware - good fortune is headed your way!  😀 😀

@chris

The Skyliners is a great band name but I wonder if there was ever a musical group called The Trabants?

Funny!    Obviously you're joking, everyone overseas has heard of the Trabant Trio.    They're very popular, especially in Germany. 

@chris LOL.......hilarious......I had NOT heard of them surprisingly.  ROCK ON!
