Precision Miniatures Santa Tour Lincoln Convertible
photo no longer available
Someone asked to see the Santa Precision Miniatures Lincoln again. Here it is. Enjoy!

It was me, Ray, and thanks so much for this. Somehow I just knew we'd have a reader who had one. Somehow I remember it was with a tree in the car too. But maybe he did this another year also. I saw it in 1979 in California. And I still have it as a kit in unpainted pieces. But no Santa.

Precision did at least three Christmas specials.
The Lincoln shown here, a 1956 Chrysler convertible, and a Mustang convertible. I don't recall them being very good sellers.

I have always wanted to have at least one Christmas special. Don't recall having seen the 1956 Chrysler, but I do have the 1953 Lincoln and am certainly happy to have it since it's one of the very few models I have of the year I was born!

I recall that Bob Hooper used these as props for his annual Christmas card.

The Lincoln is part of my "Cars of the Seasons" display that my wife includes with her decorations.
