PICS - 1966 and 1970 Ford- Mercury-Lincoln Dioramas

These are an assortment of Goldvarg Collection, Greenlight, Neo, Kess and IXO models. The Greenlight '66 Lincoln is so good that it fits right in with the superb Goldvargs. It was nice to see Sergio issue a '70 Ford Galaxie 500 "Fordor" sedan. That, combined with Kess' vivid red/woodgrained '68 Country Squire enables a varied assortment of body styles, suitable for a car dealer scene.No convertibles in the group.

I added the Mercury-Lincoln sign which was new for the '68 model year and then realized that not a single post-67 Lincoln or Mercury is represented. I may have to remedy this with a Minichamps '69 Marauder X100 or one of the '67-68 Cougars out there.

I also have to confess that the Goldvarg '65 Mercury Marauder crept into many photos. It is a beautiful replica. I may just get the gold version as well!

Randy, I think my favorite part is.....no salesmen to bother us.

True, Don but you can handle them. They are only 3" tall.

Very nice Randall! Perhaps this will motivate me to work on a diorama.

A good name for a dealership would be Canta Ford

There's a 69 Ford Fairlane LTD 4 door from the Argentine collection out there in the intertubes.

LOL. Jay, Dino Sauer Dodge and Ogden Nash Sales were the best I could do.
