...no revelation to anyone following 1/64 these days, but how far we've come from, right?    One of the best Matchbox cars ever made (IMO) is quite the contrast to a 1/64 Lincoln model offered these days, right?

@perrone1 ...of course, the JOKE may be on ALL of us.    Not long ago, THIS was a $39.99 Sunstar Lincoln model - and everything opened!

Nice model. As a former detailer I’d NEVER clean those 1:1 wheels 😂

@100ford2003 Yep!   My wife has similar rims on her Lincoln - AND - I learned a long time ago that cleaning rims that look like this:

Rim 1

Are far less "labor intensive"  than cleaning rims that look like this:

Rim 2

@chris Very true. My 79 Continental Mark V had the Turbine wheels. A bucket of soapy water and a  paint brush was the answer to cleaning them.
