[REVIEW] Tomica Lincoln Continental Mark IV

It's that time again, and today, we see a shining example of the disco-era American cars made by the high quality diecast brand loved by many here. Tomica F4, introduced in 1976. This is another small scale casting - 1:77 - that doesn't appear small, as the real car is fairly massive.

Tomica labels this a "Ford Continental" - I suppose that is technically right, as these shared a lot with the Nimitz-class 72-76 Thunderbirds, one of which is part of some of my earliest automotive memories.

As expected, detail and proportion are excellent:

From all angles, is well done:

Continental trunk hump and opera windows, class:

Big doors open to show a decent interior and accurately shaped steering wheel:

Doors open and close with precision, car has nice suspension and rolls as smooth as the real thing:

As per usual, undercarriage is more than adequate:

Maybe in the new year, I will try for better pics too - my camera turns into a potato with angled shots. Perhaps time to open up the little folding box studio thing I have laying around.

This is a pretty casting, a little gem. Tomica had several other American cars of the period, I have a few, and want more.
