The black version took Car Of The Week honors years ago, back on week #9, and I prefer this silver version to that one...maybe this one has what it takes to repeat history? |

Having moved and most my collection is in storage but if memory serves me right there was also a red one with a continental kit. One of Fords best looking cars IMO. |

You are correct, and that red one had a variation, being released with or without rear fender skirts! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Amazing, for the age of the casting. Instant memories of the 1960 Ford ...I had one of these as a college car, and also my part time job. It wasn't the Starliner, but a 4DOOR SEDAN WITH 6 CYLINDER 3 SPEED STIK ON THE COLUMN!! You think you know how hard driving a BIG car is like?? You should have seen how long it took me to learn how to park that aircraft carrier, especially after having driven a Renault Dauphine!! This car belongs in the Land Yacht series by Autoworld! This casting of the Starliner didn't quite get the roof line proportion correct...it is to high hatted and spoils the fastback rear roof line. I will be so happy to see M2 or Autoworld have a go at this one and get the "look" of this baby!! Before that happens, congrats to any of you who have one of these by ERtl, I wish I did.

The roof's plastic. I think the plan was to make a Sunliner convertible, but they never got around to it. |

I have one version of the red one and the silver one. I would like to get my hands on the black one and the 1/18 scale version too! |
