If you love these cars you got to pick up a couple of Supercar Collectable AFX diecast. Incredible detail and accuracy, more accurate than a lot of the tribute cars built in 1:1 scale.

Notice how straight the paint and body lines are here:

And now how much the back half has "drooped" here :

The metal must have been so thin it could not support the overhang.
If you look at most of the hardtop, not post sedan AWB cars they all seem to have a before and after "Droop".

Great set of Dick Landy photos : http://www.moparmax.com/features/201...k_Landy-1.html


A little droop here as well:

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

I agree,,, I picked up a '65 Melrose Missle a couple years back when they first came out, and was fortunate enough to have former driver Cecil Yother autograph the roof for me. The detailing on the 1:18 car is incredible, like you said.
You can go to www.supercar1.com and check out all of their offerings.

Here's the Sox & Martin '65 A/FX Plymouth 'Paper Tiger' after they sold it to Buckeye & Vernon racing who renamed the car...notice the rear quarter panels and door gap.

Wonder if Force could drive this Ford?

Or, could he be Crazy 'bout a Mercury?

Re: The Factory Experimental Cars
 

Charlie, there were a lot of independent racers that modified their race cars back then, Mopars, Fords and even Chevy's...remember GM got out of racing in '63, and a lot of the regular production cars were turned into Super Stockers & A/FX altered wheel base cars...a lot of them looked like a real messy job.
