I found a model of my first car today at a LHS, Tom's Trains in Ardsley, NY. It came in a box that says City Cruiser Collection, 1/43 scale die-cast. It's a Mustang convertible and the color is close enough, but it's more modern than a 1967. Also, it was only $5.95.
Overall, I'm very pleased with it. Arnold
Ah yes, the 67 Mustang. Owned one, bought new after I got home and saw it in the showroom waiting to get an oil change. Took less then an hour and drove out. Dark Blue convertible. I miss it more then any other car I ever owned. Met my wife with it and got married and driving off with it.
Thanks for the reminder.
Josef, we have so much in common. I met my wife too, at the time I had my 1967 blue mustang convertible.
Worst business decision I ever made was when I gave it away, for free, to the brother of a good friend when the transmission went.
The good news is you can go on the hunt, like I did, on the Internet, at train shows and hobby shops, and you just might find it in O scale, and then you can buy it for just a few dollars and put it on your layout.
Mine only cost $5.95! What a bargain!
LOL, Arnold
