crazyjim Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 This is the interior for the Lincoln Continental station wagon I'm building. The body will be purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Jim, ya gonna use the 65 Lincoln body, or you gonna use sumpthin else? I would think the interior of that rascal would fit other years of Lincoln's. It'd be cool to see a REAL Lincoln Wagon! I don't ever remember ever seein one even as a Fo.Mo.Co. showcar!

Joe Handley Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Looks like it should be pretty interesting when you're done, can't wait! Excuse the brain fart, was that one of the kits you got from me by chance? I can't remember which ones I sent you right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first factory-issue Lincoln of any kind you could consider a wagon (hearses excluded of course) was the '98 Navigator. (Why there's no Navigator kit out there I cannot imagine.) I don't recall ever seeing a factory prototype Lincoln wagon, either. You could get a Cadillac wagon, but I think that was an aftermarket deal. Heck, in high school I thought about buying my buddy's '85 Country Squire and hanging some Town Car sheetmetal off it and doing up my own Town Wagon! Funny- there was never a Lincoln wagon concept, but I do remember seeing a full-scale 4-door Mustang clay model ! I love seeing the '65 kit built up, as the '61-'67 Connies are some of my all-time faves. I haven't seen the wagon version built up in a while... and this would be the first time I've seen a purple one, with a color-matched interior, no less!

The '65 Connie had a station wagon option with a big semi-circle clear roof insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Chuck I gotta Lincoln Navigator. It's 24th scale,die cast an pre-painted! It's a NICE model an it LOOKS like a Lincoln Navigator!I'm not REAL sure, but I THINK it was marketed as a Testors Quik Builder kit. It's a VERY nice kit an pretty detailed for a die cast. I've had it for about 5 yrs and other than when I bought mine at the Deeetroit Auto-Rama, I've NEVER seen another one. But they're out there!

crazyjim Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I used the '65 Lincoln kit that I got from Joe Handley. Spyder posted a pic of the box. Got it all painted and mostly put together so I should be able to post under glass in a couple of days. Found out last night I have a problem with zone 2 of my sprinkler system. Gotta fix that first.

I believe Maisto did a 1/24 diecast of one, too, but it was kind of toyish in execution. I had one, I think I traded it for some kits. OR a case of Dr.Pepper. Or was it Faygo Moon Mist... I don't remember. And Spyder- I'm well aware of the '65 Connie kit with the optional wagon version. It's one of my ALL TIME favorite kits. I've got... jeesh... forty? Fifty of them squirreled away? I meant I've never seen a 1/1 scale Lincoln wagon. Now that I think of it, I don't even see the kit built as the wagon too often, even though it comes with that halfway decent woodgrain decal! Though personally I could do without the big bubble window in the roof, it still builds into a nice phanom Lincoln wagon!
