North American Fords 1909 to 2019 North American Fords 1909-2019 by Michael, on Flickr The concept is to select one model per model year for a defined region. In this line up of North American models I have a Ford model for every year model year from 1909-2019 except 1912-13, 1915-16, 1918-19, 1921-23 (basically all of the 1917-1925 Model Ts are interchangeable), 1926-27, 1931, 1938-39, 1952, 1990, and 1992. North American Fords 1909-2019 by Michael, on Flickr I arranged the group tree different ways, and was happiest with the final version which organized the models in vertical columns and which had enough room to show me where I'm missing models. North American Fords 1909-2019 by Michael, on Flickr I'm planning to do something similar for other regions of the globe. North American Fords 1909-2019 by Michael, on Flickr My collection of North American Fords as been growing faster in recent years, helped in no small part by the Mexican part-work series.

Above, I was mentioning that the growth of the North American portion of my collection is largely attributable to the IXO based Mexican part-work series. A second big contributor to growth in this sector is the arrival of Goldvarg. Here is a view of my current collection. My Goldvarg Collection To Date by Michael, on Flickr

Motorhaed Miniatures -- Genuine Ford Parts series. Motorhead Miniatures Genuine Ford Series by Michael, on Flickr Motorhaed Miniatures issued seven models and I have four of them. 1930 Ford Model A Sedan Delivery 1940 Ford DeLuxe Sedan Delivery 1955 Ford Thunderbird 1959 Ford Ranch Wagon 1960 Ford Starliner 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster 1968 Mercury Cougar Both the '55 T-bird and the Cougar can be had on e-bay for IXO prices, but I've stared at them long and hard and I think that the shapes of the cars have been distorted so, so far I have resisted buying them. The '59 Ranch Wagon looks better, but is is hard to find and is not sold at a highly discounted price.

Comparison of Motorhead Miniatures 1940 Ford DeLuxe Sedan Delivery with the Real ThingFord DeLuxe Sedan Delivery (1940) by Motorhead Miniatures by Michael, on Flickr Ford DeLuxe Sedan Delivery, 1940 by Michael, on Flickr MM could have done a better job with the grille, adding a bit of extra chrome where necessary, also the vent window post. The shape of the headlight bezel could be better shaped, "DeLuxe" script could be on the side of the hood and the gas filler tube is in the wrong place. Ford DeLuxe Sedan Delivery (1940) by Motorhead Miniatures by Michael, on Flickr Ford DeLuxe Sedan Delivery, rear, 1940 by Michael, on Flickr The biggest flaw in the back is the absent combination taillight and license plate holder assembly. Also noticeable is the misplaced gas filer and the dimensions of the door relative the side pillars of the body are off. Motorhead Miniatures Genuine Ford Series by Michael, on Flickr Missing taillights seem to be a theme with MM's sedan deliveries.
