Here are 2 original issue AMT Ford Fairlane 500's. These were only issued once in 1958 as an annual kit. The current collector value on this kit in average condition is 350.00 I bought these two on Ebay. They were basically junk, with all the crap, louvers, skirts, etc, glued to them. I completely restored the bodies, rechromed all the brightwork and replaced the glass, and steering wheels. They are both painted in coral and colonial white. The colors are reversed from one to the other. The trim was done in Bare Metal foil. they were put back into stock form. Complete detail was done on the interiors. I live in the salt belt. I remember these 58's rusted faster then you could pay for them. This was not one of Fords better year cars. They were just not that popular. Today however they are quite collectible, probably because there are not that many around. The AMT kits though are highly sought after. A very solid investment. |
