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!

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.
