Western Models # 46X - a '59 Galaxie Skyliner. It is a long and heavy model in this scale.

This is French Dinky # 1402 - a '66 Galaxie 500 four door hardtop. Rather an odd subject for this firm to make (released in 1967).

But then, maybe when Dinky/France figured out that they needed a big American car to make all their new features easy to incorporate in a 1/43 scale model, the Galaxie made sense as the subject.

I think you will make Galaxieman's day with this thread ranchero! :p

Love that '59 Skyliner! My uncle had one in coral & white, but he only put the top down a couple of times a year because he was afraid that it wouldn't go back up! (It never failed, so I don't know why he was so worried. Plus I think it had a manual top mechanism anyway. Oh, well - he traded it for '64 coupe.)

I've been hoping for a 1/64 version forever, too. Plus your Dinky Galaxie is uber-desirable, especially with all of those cool features. I love 4dr pillarless Hardtops - I wish they still made new ones. Thanks for the great pics!
