Gorgeous line up Sylvain. The Buick windshield looks like a challenge. I'd like your take on the Sylvan Plymouths. They're the subject of a review I'm doing. Oh and the JMK Edsel is quite impressive.

Modified "American" versions of the 3 Ford Falcon by Road Ragers: 1960 Falcon sedan: roof repainted, as the A and C pillars must be of the same color than the roof, B-pillar painted in chrome, grey decorations erased on the sides of the car. I'm not sure this grey and white combination was available on American Falcon, but I did not want to repaint all the car. 1961 Falcon Station-Wagon: roof repainted in white, as the A-pillar must be of the same color than the roof. 1963 Falcon Futura Sport Coupe: new chromed arrows on the sides of the cars. The 3 cars have been converted from RHD to LHD.

Excellent conversion work Sylvain!
Great to see Aussie cars being converted to US versions. Usually I'm trying to do it the other way around and trying to converting my American & European cars to the Aussie version.
FYI the prototype Australian wagons departed from the US design in that it was shorter. The US wagons were 130 mm longer than the Sedan. However, Ford Australia thought it would be too long as it would be longer than its competitor the Holden. They were also concerned that they would not be sufficient clearance to clear the gutter both in the country and in suburbs.
There was also a Squire Wagon with fake wood side panelling that was offered which mimicked the US version. But it was a flop probably due to the effect of the Aussie sun.

Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
They are beautiful as always. Your color choices are spot on for the era of the vehicles modeled.
