64 Ford Thunderbird

I'd like to see a 64 Thunderbird hardtop. Stock, but custom would be fine also.
You can find 55-57's rather easy, and the recent Jada and also Hot Wheels of a 62/63. There are also other years starting to pop up. But I have yet to find a 64 other than old dealer promos and plastic models on ebay.

Anson did a bunch of '63 coupes and Ertl did a '63 roadster, but I know of no '64s.

Its too bad -- my grandparents owned a '64, and it was a classy looking machine. I had two plastic models of them as a kid -- can't recall the brand.

There is a 1:43 scale of a 66 that I've seen at Wal-Mart and on ebay (my dad has a version of it in his collection also).

But with the thunderbirds, I usually think the first year of a body style was the best (with the exception of the 55 through 57) where they are all great.

My dad had rose beige color 64, and that's why I'm looking. :) I see a few old assembled plastic models on ebay now. But I'm not really impressed with 'em enough to bid.

64 is my dream T-Bird as well,
Danbury Mint just released their first 57 T-Bird, to be made for one year only commemerating the 50th anniversary.
I purchased one and with it came an opportunity to get on a list to recieve an additional T-Bird 50th anniversary edition once a year from now on.
They already have images of the 58, 59 and 60 and could rework their 62 to cover 61 and 63. So hopefully they will make the 64 finaly in 2014!
