That's right...I have a scale model of a '77 Chrysler Cordoba! It was made by Lindberg, and is in 1/32 scale. I'm not fond of this scale, but, at the time, I had a 1:1 '76 Cordoba, so when I found this kit, I grabbed it.   The body on this thing is a dead-on ringer! The interior is lacking. It has no door panels and the other engraving is slight. Sure wish somone would do a 1/25 scale kit of one of these great MOPARS from the disco era. BTW: That's modelingmonkey sitting there wondering what he's doing! |

When I saw the topic title I was shocked, having looked for a Cordoba model in the past to no avail. I agree 1/32 isnt the best, but when it's the only scale you can get a certain subject matter in, then go for it!
This Cordoba looks super, and the perfect year too. Is it a curbside? If not I'd like to see under hood and under carriage shots. Thanks for posting this!

Not my choice of scale either but it looks really well detailed to me, like ya say if it's the only scale available on a model you want then good! i'm on the lookout for a 1960 Vauxhall cresta/velox model (my first car) i'll take one in a smaller scale if i cant get a 1/24/25th

Keith,
A good looking build regardless of scale. You have done a nice job on your build.
Thanks for posting this build on our forum..
NICE WORK!

Alas, about the best part of this kit is the body and chrome. The underneath is lacking detail, there is no engine, and even the interior has no door panels!! The kit came that way! The only reason I even bought it is because I had a 1976 black Cordoba at the time. It looks decent enough for a shelf model...a bit lost among the all the 1/24 and 1/25 scale stuff!! HaHa
Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words. Now, if only we could get a 1/25 scale version.......complete with Corinthian Leather, no less!!!!!

Nice build Keith . But the disco era was not for me . My wife bought me a shirt that had a pattern close the seat covers and I wore it once . |
