Sometime ago, months before I had learned of the GLM '54 Lincoln Capri, I picked the model up in 1/64 scale from Mini GT. When the solid black version was issued, it didn't really appeal to me, but when the yellow & black was issued, I was intrigued. I am still considering the green & black version that was most recently issued, but I haven't bought it yet.

So today, just for some fun, I brought the two of them together for a photoset. They make an interesting pair, and the Mini GT version holds up very well next to the larger model.

Nice set of photos. I do not yet have the GLM model, but have three of the Mini GT ones. They are very nice 1/64 scale models.

Crazy, right!   When I owned my 1954 Lincoln Capris.... there was NOTHING!   Now, quality '54 Lincoln replicas are everywhere!    😮 😮

Both of those replicas look great in either scale ! The colors of these two Lincoln beauties is superb, too.

Mini GT models have many collectors looking at 1/64 scale models for the first time. They are superb miniatures in everyway.

I have all their '54 Lincolns.... but their upcoming 007 Bond  line (that I posted about a few weeks ago ) appears to be another homerun.   This is their (Bond film ) MACH 1 prototype sample - that will retail for about $5         Not bad, right?  😎 😎 😎
