Was the '64 Lincoln the same one Kennedy was assassinated in?

As far as a model with historical importance, this was definitely a good choice. Possibly controversial, yes.


I myself mostly collect their 1/76 emergency vehicles, and have just started, as I only own one, the Ford Consul Police. The prices are fairly reasonable, and they're diecast, but half what an HO scale model costs.

Yes, that is President Kennedy's limo. Also added in the '57 Merc which I forgot about last night.

:toy: While I no longer collect 1/87th scale cars these days I do make exceptions to "my rules" from time to time. :lol: Last year I got the HO Oxford Edsel which is a very nice diecast model. Runs in the same price range as the 1/76th models. Oxford does a very nice job. Of this new group I know I will want to get the '57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser to park next to my Oxford Edsel.

They also have released this mysterious model of a Komatsu PC340 long reach excavator in 1:76 for Stobart Rail's Civil engineering division. This is part of the "Atlas Editions" collection Posted Image no clue how to obtain it. Might be a UK only model?

These are 1:76 scale- not( HO 1:87 th). They are slightly larger than true HO which I also no longer collect , as I agree HO are much too small for my liking. If anyone locates a distributor / dealer or UK collector source for these Oxfords, please advise!

If memory serves, I think 1/76 scale is "OO," or in parlance "dublo." I may possibly have that confused with 1/72.

Nice looking models, that Mercury is a stunner! The non-pres Conti and the Tbird would be next on my list...

Had to keep myself from drooling there. That excavator looks awesome!

Actually, Kennedy's limo was a 1961 Continental. These are beautiful, and I would love to get them.

At the time of the Kennedy assassination the car was wearing a 1962 front clip, but was still essentially a 1961. After the assassination SSX100 was completely remodeled and returned back to the Johnson White House in May of 1964. I believe this is when it was given a model year update since it was torn completely apart and put back together with more armor, more power and many other updates.

Vadim at Apason.com just advised me tonight that his distributor source has these new Oxfords available . Cost including shipping to him from Europe has yet to be determined. So stand by!

These are Oxfords 1/87 models. There are new and different than their 1/76 series.

Nice and different but they do seem to lack the detail the others manufacturers are putting out in this scale. I hope they can be successful with this approach, but many in this scale are very picky.
