I've been to Rhodiss, it's probably the size of Mayberry. LOL I would bet a dollar to a donut it never saw more than 500 miles a year there!

I’ll bet even less, because since 2003 it’s gained less than 400 miles!

And then there's your addition to the CarLite logo database!
In pic 4 it looks different from mine, and may be what the others in the '66 thread were hunting for.

I'd have to guess the windshield is original, but with a service vehicle it's hard to say. Heck, could have been replaced four times in just fourteen thousand miles!

Been doing some buff work on the paint. This one is very tough to work with but it’s definitely an improvement.

Plan to rebuild the carb soon, new exhaust, tires, and a few other odds and ends then just enjoy it for a while.

Here is the product of two days work. I cleaned, buffed, and waxed all weekend! But I made a definite improvement!

Also it now Sports the Kelly Wintermark tires I bought from Slowleak last year. I had these set aside for my U13 but this one needs them now!

Thanks fellas!

I tinkered a little more today on it. Cleaned all the glass up and got rid of the step on the passenger side. I hope to do a little more cleaning tomorrow, and replace some leaking heater hoses. It also needs battery cables and a starter cable. The driver’s door glass and vent window are in poor shape so I’ll probably put better ones in it.

So I may upset some folks with this, but I think I’m leaving the hubcaps off. Yes I know it has them on the Diecast toy but it looks WAY better without them.

I am so out of the loop. I saw the pictures of this bronco on facebook but didn’t realize it had diecast toy version. Thats pretty cool. I have got to look on here more often.

BTW, no hubcaps looks way better.;)

No hubcaps, no step!! Next thing we know it's going to be cut, lifted and rolling on 22s. :eek:
