Another Fun Chop—1:18 Torino Cobra Fordor

Ford could have created an early "four door coupe" using its gorgeous 1970 Torino fastback. I used Ford's classic Fordor moniker for this pillarless hardtop sedan. Torinos of this vintage had a four door pillarless bodystyle but it was more formal looking than this Sportsroof model. As odd as this bodystyle may have looked in 1970, it really looks pretty 'normal' today. That's how far sedans have come in the styling department in the past 40 years. 

This is the second in a series of fake cars based on my scale models rather than press photos of actual cars. The first one was the 1971 Riviera formal roof, and I have a few more on the horizon! I'm including a different small collectible with each one to show scale. In this piece I used a pair of vintage eyeglasses that belonged to my grandmother. I also left a white plastic jug of fish emulsion for the garden on the top step. It's an excellent plant food, and expensive, so I thought I'd better get some artistic use out of it as well, lol.
