Goldvarg '62 Lincoln Continental

Wow, these are gorgeous automobiles and Goldvarg 1/43 replicas. Each color is very nice and, as usual, picking a shade would be difficult. I had a 1/18 1963 Lincoln Continental in pale yellow, but intergranular corrosion struck, affecting mostly the door hinges.

@michaeldetorrice, yikes! That corrosion is a heartbreaker!

It is and it can be, John ! The ZAMAC alloys in diecast replicas can occasionally be affected, but, as you know, white metal and resin is not really subject to this ..... although resin needs to be properly mixed and cured I understand.

@michaeldetorrice The same thing happened to mine. A few years ago at the Countryside Show I found another at a great price and replaced the first. So far the replacement has held up well. Thanks for the video John. I have the blue one which I believe was referred  to as gray.

I love ‘61-65 Continentals. Are these pre-production as I find the “B” pillar and door glass trim unusual in what appears to be black ?

@100ford2003 The B pillar trim is chrome.

Bob, apparently the intergranular corrosion problem can happen to only part or even most of a particular diecast car zamac zinc production run. One can be lucky, or unlucky, within a model's run.  

Those are beautiful.  I love this era of Lincoln the best, short of the 68-71 Mark III.

@geno, I have to agree!
