Parked on the street one day was this beautiful 1939 Mercury convertible! The owner said that his father-in-law brought it brand new and it has been in the family the entire time. It resembles Fords from the same model year but it is just different enough.
Displaying its 70th anniversary logo and associated colour scheme with pride is the latest Matchbox Moving Parts 2019 Ford Mustang Convertible. Slightly better proportioned than the 2018 basic mainline equivalent and of course has the benefit of opening doors.
Mint and boxed.

Instructions for my Porsche 911. I've had many requests for these.
I'll leave it to you to improvise changes for the different 911 models. Part availability makes a black version easy. A white version is possible, but (at the time or writing) requires part substitution. They're the only other colours I've tried.
The Lincoln Continental was an automobile produced by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company between 1939 and 2002. Despite often sharing underpinnings with less-expensive Fords, the Continental was usually a distinctively styled, highly equipped luxury car.
The flagship model Lincoln during most its run, the Continental name conveyed special cachet in the product line.
In 1961, the Continental was completely redesigned by Elwood Engel. For the first time, the names Lincoln and Continental would be paired on a car other than one in the Mark series. The design was originally intended to be the new 1961 Ford Thunderbird, but the concept was enlarged and slightly altered before being switched to the Lincoln line by Robert McNamara. One of the most striking features of the new Continental was its size. It was two feet shorter than its predecessor. So much smaller was this car, that advertising executives at Ford photographed a woman parallel parking a sedan for a magazine spread. The new Continental's most recognized trademark, front opening rear doors, was a purely practical decision. The new Continental rode a wheelbase of 123", and the rear hinged doors were hinged from the rear to ease ingress and egress. When the Lincoln engineers were examining the seating buck that styling had made up, the engineers kept hitting the front hinged door of the buck with their feet. The rear hinged doors solved the problem. To simplify production (in the beginning, anyway), all cars were to be four-door models, and only two body styles were offered, sedan or convertible. Therefore, the rear doors were hung from the rear and opened from the front. This "suicide door" style was to become the best-known feature of 1960s Lincolns. The 1961 model was the first car manufactured in America to be sold with a 24,000 miles (39,000 km) or 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty.
The 1961 Lincoln Continental was really Engel's design masterpiece, considered by many to be pinnacle of Lincoln style. Even the dashboard was his design. This may have been the last time a single individual was responsible for the complete design of a production car. The 1961 Lincoln's striking, understated elegance immediately won a major design award and was widely copied by other manufacturers -- note the similarity of the 1963 Cadillac and the 1963 Buick Electra.
Continentals of this generation are favored by collectors, and have appeared in movies such as The Matrix, The Last Action Hero, and Inspector Gadget movies, the TV series Pushing Daisies, and recently it shows in the opening sequence of the TV series Entourage.
An upload of heavy metal (& a couple fiberglas & carbon fiber) from the archives. All machines at the weekly Pismo Derelicts & donut meet, Pismo Beach CA.
This 1949 Buick Convertible was seen at the AACA Grand National Show, Moline, Illinois, June 29, 2013.
Hard to say for sure what exactly is going here but I suspect the occupants of the car know. The white spot on the head is actually a flower placed on his hat-- which has something to do with the joke I suspect. Found in WI.
Deze Cadillac heeft de hoogste staartvinnen die ooit op een serieproductieauto zijn toegepast. De vinnenrage is in 1959 letterlijk en figuurlijk op haar hoogtepunt. Het is het ultieme kenmerk van de ‘Jet Age’ of ‘Space Age’, het tijdperk waarin de ontwikkeling en opkomst van straaljagers en raketten het design van consumptiegoederen sterk inspireert. Ook de kogel- of raketvormige achterlichten en de op straalmotoren gelijkende lampbehuizingen aan de voor- en achterzijde zijn hier voorbeelden van.
De uiterst luxueuze Cadillac heeft een 6,4 liter motor en is voorzien van in zes richtingen elektrisch verstelbare stoelen, verlichting die bij het naderen van tegenliggers automatisch dimt, een niet-reflecterende, panoramische voorruit, airconditioning, een automatische versnellingsbak, alsmede luchtvering die voor een constante rijhoogte zorgt.
