@daveg ...trunk carpet is amazing for 1/64 - even I didn't know that.   Wow!     

The only thing that's a bit off are those "four exhaust tips."   

The true exhaust tips are in the bumper below the taillights and NOT under the bumper as shown.   Although 1:1 owners sometimes do this to preserve the chrome bumper ends and I suppose GFCC just replicated what they saw.  

So, technically, it's not a mistake - it just looks a bit off. 

Overall, this is amazing 1/64 model, er, um....  "scale replica."

@daveg That is a fantastic looking model. I have never seen a 1/64 scale car engine with that level of detail.

The good news is that the mufflers and tailpipes are separate plastic pieces that could be removed or modified to get the factory correct look!

Interesting......  makes me wonder if perhaps they were installed incorrectly and MAYBE those "hook-like-tailpipes"  SHOULD tuck up into those bumper ends.  🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 

Do all these Lincolns have hanging tailpipes?

Yes, they all have the same tailpipes, installed in the same way. I do not believe that they could be installed in a way that would route them through the bumper ends. As mentioned before, they probably saw a picture of a 1:1 that had tailpipes like this, and assumed that they all did.

Black just arrived!

Interestingly, the blue ones have numbered plaques, and the black ones just say "Special Edition".

Amazing detail for a 1/64 scale car.

There seems to be two versions, perhaps similar to what GFCC did with some 1/43 models in the past. Those Continentals selling for around $50 have the hood ornament. Those selling for $30 do not, just a dimple on the hood where the ornament should be. This is apparent in photos seen on dealers' websites and eBay.
