Here is the great-looking 1965 Dodge Coronet from Greenlight in 1/64. This one is a bit more than just a grocery-getter and it is impressive in real and replica form with it's look and stance. V-8 power is, of course, under the hood.

Looking un peu Sovietique in #3. Perhaps it's the black boxiness, perhaps the coloured ground that looks like a map of the world, either way, the stuff of dreams!

Funny! It looks like a rusty BBQ top-cover to me. 🙄 🙃
It's a cool GL '65 Dodge though, I have a few of them in different liveries. Nice pics!

@chris Would our illustrious contributor photograph his subjects on a rusty BBQ top cover ? Perhaps.

I have! If it works.... ... it works! 😏
These 1/64 shots were taken atop a rusty fire-pit fireplace. 😏 😏

Thanks ! Greenlight certainly makes some really nice diecast replicas, and in various scales, too.

And for its diminutive size, it retains great fidelity to the real car!Thanks ! Greenlight certainly makes some really nice diecast replicas, and in various scales, too.

It very much does, Tony. A friend who was a couple of years older than me got a used 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 in the late Sixties-early Seventies that he customized and made a real powerful and particularly gorgeous muscle-car. I believe he had a 440 V-8 in it.
A neighbor of his just across the block from me had a 1957 Chrysler 300 with a 392 V-8 in it that my friend aways admired and would have loved to get.
