    One of the strangest models EVER!!!!!!

    Check this out .. sorry for the poor picture, but it's all I have to work with. This was for sale along with a huge collection of model hearses.

    I've never seen anything like this -- EVER!!!!!

    Unbelivable TBN trips including ALL of the lower 48 States plus 9 Canadian Provinces, 8 European Countries, 3 Caribbean Countries, Countless National Parks and have attended well over 100 TBN Events since 2001 and counting. Best of all ... fabulous friends.

    First one I've seen as well. Would be cool to have at my funeral, though.

      Strange model indeed. Someone put a lot of effort in turning it into a 4-door station. Would it ever have existed as 1:1?

        Who was the manufacturer of the model? It may have been a custom that someone did - one off kind of thing. I see that it has been "stretched" which makes me really think that it was someone's custom project. What size is it? 1/24th or approx. that?

            Dot, the car has this description underneath:
            THUNDERBIRD HEARSE - customized by Tony Piccione of Rare Resources; L-13 1/2", G-VG

            It's on page 12 of the November 19th auction

                      I like it!

                        Dot,

                        Did you see the red Japanese friction tin flair birds on pgs. 9 & 10? They are the same as the one in my collection that Saffron's picture was made with.

                          Yes, saw those but paid attention to the 57 and 58 tin fords that were shown. There was a 57 wagon pulling a trailer house (camper) that really caught my eye - but I'm not spending much money right now for something like that, though.
