'59 Ford Galaxie convertible... October 26 2009 at 2:32 PM		Robert Rensch (no login) from IP address 65.31.34.63


Is there a difference in length between the '59 Ford Galaxie convertible and the retract hardtop? If so, any idea where the length was changed? Lastly, any correct stock non-tri-color (plain chrome and black) '59 Ford Galaxie hubcaps/wheels available in 25th scale? I've had a project on the back burner for a long time to convert the Revell '59 Ford retract to a convertible as a model of my mom's car back in the day. It's the car I learned to drive in! (Wish I still had it...) Thanx

I believe the retractable was longer between the doors and the rear wheels - Daryl Huhtala on Oct 26, 2009, 5:21 PM
