1953 Ford 4-door sedan

[1st 700 Quad]

Does anyone besides Star Models produce a 1953 Ford 4-door sedan. He's out and I need one for a project that I'd like to get started while the idea is fresh in my mind...

Steve,

Are you aware of the AMT '53 Ford 4-door promo?  Some of these are quite straight, but have no interior and have a metal chassis.  Combine that with the Lindberg '53 Ford hardtop and you have something to start with.

Thanks. I bought one off of eBay and when I got it you could basically nest it inside the AMT hardtop body so none of the donor parts will fit. I'm currently grafting the greenhouse from the promo to the hardtop body, I'll have to rescribe the door lines and use interior door panels from 2 cars to make the interior sides. Sure wish I could find a resin, it'd make my job a WHOLE lot easier....

I have the Star 53 Ford 4-door, but it is slated for a project of my own.  It does not come with an interior; just a body shell minus a hood. But the quality of the body is really nice.

What a bummer.

If you ever decide you want to sell it, let me know.
