Here is a 1/64 1964 Plymouth Fury as done by Greenlight. Plymouth was coming back from it's perhaps unfortunate and hurried downsizing (but still quite interesting) cars offered for 1962 with this good-looking and somewhat up-sized '64 edition of their Fury. This one was very attractive as both a 1:1 and a 1/64 automobile.
@chris Hi Chris, I have this model but have never displayed it as I've felt it was a tiny bit too small for 1/43 - though I have no expertise and have never even seen one 'in the flesh'. In your view, is the scale fine?

Honestly, I've never taken mine out of the box, nor measured it for accuracy. Glancing at it, in comparison to the IXO Lincoln limo above it, you may have a point.
@john-quilter Outstanding as always John! Glad to hear these scale out! Very handsome Plymouths & Dodges and really quite a radical shift in styling when you consider those beautiful winged-Foward Look Mopars were produced literally just a few years prior.
It is such a good-looking car, Bob. I am sure that Elwood Engel had something to do with the very nice design of the 1964 Plymouth. Their increased size and solid design helped cement a mainstream appeal that Plymouth automobiles had,..........and just ahead was the heart of the muscle car era, in which Plymouth and the Chrysler Corp played a big role.
I am aware of a blue Richard Petty model done, I think in 1/25 diecast and with an opening hood, but not so much in generally larger diecast scales, like 1/24 and 1/18. I am glad that a 1/64 has been done by Greenlight.
