Lindberg 1/32 Granada - OOB

[Faust]

Pretty much everyone who knows me knows that I love loser cars, everyday cars and the stuff that most people don’t even think about. Well, there’s not much more of a loser everyday car than one of the best-selling, but most boring, of all the ‘70s three-box sedans: the Ford Granada! Unfortunately, while the real car sold well, there wasn’t a lot of interest from kit makers. Just imagine the awesome MPC decal variants that COULD have been made with an early Granada kit!



However, I recently was given quite a rare little gem; one of the 1/32 Lindberg Ford Granadas! Depicting a ’76 Ghia, from what I can tell, this simple little kit is not one you see everyday. Depsite its simplicity, it’s still a good replica, especially form about 2 feet out!

I have never seem one of these in kit form before. It does look fairly accurate, compared to the 1:1 derilict version that sits in the lot beside my in-law's house!

Thanks for sharing.

My neighbor bought one new. A standard. I needed to move it for him once and kept stalling it. It was fairly good looking for the times. His was a dark metallic brown with buckskin top and interior.

Man, a brown Granada with a standard... does it get any more '70s than that?

I truly LUV your enthusiasm and respect for the "blandmobiles." The humor, too, goes a long way toward keeping the reviews real. Thanks so much for your dedication to the hobby! Granada, HAH!

Thanks man!

It makes it all worthwhile if people enjoy it. 

I'm always one for the "bland" team; losers and everyday cars are my big thing, although there are some more normal cars in my stash too! 

Life is worth living so long as there are loser cars worth modelling!
