[Closed] Pics 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone first prototype

I’m a big car fan, almost exclusively four door cars.

But those headlamps are awkward.

Maybe...a few years ago a young comedian - Steve Martin unexpectedly met Elvis backstage

Elvis' greeting to Martin went something like this, "Man, your sense of humor is....o'bleek."

Later, Elvis dropped by Martin's dressing room and confessed that his sense of humour was oblique as well and that many of his fans didn't understand it. Presley's "o'bleek" humour shows up in videos of his performances when he intentionally substitutes funny lyrics in old favourites and pretends to nod off in the middle of a verse.

I have heard Martin and Robin Williams' humour described as "off the wall", "grabbed out of thin air" and the oft-used, "offbeat". Their humour (and Elvis') always appealed to me.

Jack and David - Glad I'm not alone. When I saw the headlights I thought that Sergio had modelled a '66 AMC Ambassador! The headlights didn't look at all like I remembered them. It turns out that they are accurately-rendered by Sergio. My memory is of the '67 Cyclone which had subtle but effective styling changes which better incorporated the stacked lights.

Like you, David, I appreciate big sedans and hardtops and am hoping for a 63-66 Breezeway. But, I will get one copy of this neat little Comet model to park beside the '65 Mercs that Goldvarg is introducing.

Jack, I responded to your other non-car-related question below. Cheers.

I loved Steve Martin and Robin Williams' style myself.

Jack, who'd have expected this thread on a scale model car website?!

Have a good Saturday night (oh, yeah, how 'bout Billy Crystal?) and try to keep out of the winds and rain assaulting your fair Isle.

Haha...no kidding! I'm out in it tonight!
