AMT 1955 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Vic Model Kit

 

1956 ford crown vic

 

 

An AMT 1956 Crown Victoria. This time, I used a turquoise hardware store color spray paint and Testors White.

The kit comes with the sunroof "glass", and has a groove molded inside on the roof to cut it open .I opened it up and painted it lightly with Testors Transparent Green. ( Which of course, makes it a Sunliner ).


The 1956 Ford Crown Vic trim was added on this version, though they are separate pieces, you can easily leave them off to make a base Crown Vic.

The interior is 2-toned to match the outside.

Includes a V8 312 engine. The front wheels are posable.

1956 ford crown vic

 

 

Another AMT 1956 Ford Crown Vic kit. Built stock out of the box, except I made it a hard top (no post) .

I think the pink may be actually brush painted on, because at the time, I could not find any pink paint in a spray can. I also brush painted the wide whitewalls. Oh well, those were the days. I was just getting back into modeling after a very long dry spell.


On this kit the doors and the hood open. It also comes with a lot of extra parts for customizing or giving it the full Crown Vic trim.


The Neba condiment bottle behind the car is from a fast food place out of business now, but for many years, it was THE place to take your Hot Rod or Custom car.

On the last night they were open, they were selling the bottles and I was lucky enough to score one. They sold great Roast Beef sandwiches.

 

 

 

1956 mercury

 

 

An AMT 1956 Ford, with a little converting of the trim. I had a 1956 Mercury at the time, and wanted to see what the car would look like in dark blue. I sanded off the trim on the kit, and added the Mercury trim with Bare Metal Foil. I also made it a hard top (no post).

Overall, I think it came out well. The kit is painted in Testors Dark Blue. I don't know where the hubcaps came from, but they were the same kind I had on my 1978 Ford F150 when I first bought it. Weird.

  • Plates & Dishes: The Food And Faces Of The Roadside Diner - Schacher traveled across the U.S. and Canada in three stages, first in a 1978 Volkswagen van, then in a 35-foot motor home and, finally, by motorcycle. Over the 13,318 miles he covered, he visited 70 highway eating establishments, and photographed the food he ate and the women who served it to him. The result is a collection that oozes with sentimentality about North American culture.

  • Diner Desserts - This fun collection celebrates exactly the desserts you'd expect from America's diners: fluffy Chocolate Cream Pie, three-layer High and Mighty White Cake and chewy Old-Time Peanut Butter Cookies, Southern Sweet Potato Spice Pie and New York City's famous Classic Black and White Cookies. A chapter on sweets from the soda fountain includes a Really Rich Double Chocolate Milk Shake and a S'more Sundae with marshmallow spread and chocolate sauce, and another on "dunkables" offers Diner-Style Powdered Buttermilk Donuts and Raspberry Twists.
  • Blue Plate Specials: Recipes Your Family & Friends Will Love the Most--Inspired by Diners Coast-to-Coast - Here's what's on the menu ...stick-to-your-ribs recipes inspired by diners across the USA.
