Here is the full article that was the source of the pics in the other 65 Lincoln thread.
It includes the full build process. Some great tips and tricks in there, too.

I think I have this kit somewhere. I'll have to see if I can find it.

I suppose with the right glue and a good utility knife a guy could build a real one!

 

The original AMT 1965 Lincoln convertible kit included the parts to make it a custom station wagon. The entire kit, including the parts to make the station wagon, was reissued in the 1990's. I bought this kit in the 90's, but I built it stock, as a convertible.

 

I was always looking for wagon model kits to build when I was a kid, but this one didn't interest me much. The 'wagon' pieces didn't strike me as being very realistic. If I had been a more talented model-builder (I wasn't) I maybe could have made some changes that would have satisfied me. Mainly didn't like the curving B pillar.
