I built both of these almost 5 decades ago and, fortunately, they were kept in old Johan Excel model car cases (dust free) for all this time. They were both based on hard plastic toy versions of the PMC '59 promos (usually badly warped) and I'd usedparts from the old Revell '59 Ford convertibles (retractables) kits to add better chassis/wheels/tires/ hubcaps, etc. as well as opening engine hoods and motors. At that time, I wasn't too interested in super-detailing but I always cared about clean smooth paint and trim. My paint choices back then were 'best guesses' since there wasn't today's easy access to reference, and my main paint was usually Testors jar paint mixed, thinned, and sprayed through a Binks Wren airbrush. Trim was always added using Pactra chrome (Testors chrome paint was aweful back then) and some longer thin trim was added using bright foil muffler tape.
These old models (along with many of my others) have been stored at my brother's place since the early '90s. I intend to keep them just as they were in their cases, but I really wanted to re-photograph them. I hope you enjoy seeing the new pics.
