While I had my ‘studio’* still set up and working well I thought I’d take the opportunity to get some more shots. This time with a couple of of Ford coupes. The green ‘72 Grand Torino and the purple ‘73 Falcon GT351. For those that don’t know both casts are from Hot Wheels.

I thought these two looked more similar from memory but seeing them together I’m not so sure. There’s a bit of common design language I suppose but, and I may be biased here, I think the aussie one looks the better of the pair. Maybe that’s because it’s that’s the shape I’ve grown up with but I just like its lines better.

Plus the Road Warrior never drove a Torino...

I think the Falcon has a cleaner looking front than the Torino.

After doing the wheel swap on the Grand Torino I think the Falcon needs some new rubber now.

Both rear ends look good to me.

That’s it for this set. I took some other pictures with this set up that I’ll post later on.

Thanks for looking.
