After the assassination of President of President Kennedy the Lincoln �X-100� Parade Car was returned to Hess & Eisenhardt for a �quick fix�. After six months it emerged with a ton of additional armour that included a permanently attached bulletproof glass top, �run flat� aluminum disks inside the tires, and much more. In the process it was updated with a 1964 grille and painted black instead of the original dark blue, and it went on to serve four more presidents. Yat Ming has added this very accurate 1:24 scale model of the �Quick Fix�X-100 to their Presidential Series of diecast models. Its muti-piece body is clean and smooth, but the glossy black paint does have some orange peel. Photos show that the model is fully detailed; small badges are hot printed but all the rest of the trim � and there�s lots of it � is done with separate chromed parts. The big V-8 is modeled well, but there�s no wiring or plumbing. The interior makes up for that, though, with soft carpets, two-tone upholstery with wood-grain panels and chrome trim, a fully detailed dash with legible instruments, and fold-away jump seats. --SMI Februaey 2007 See more.
