This is a nice rare piece, a friction-powered tin toy made in China back in the eighties.

I had to look at a half-dozen photos online before I could believe that Ford subjected the '63 to so much gratuitous dinking up. Landau irons and a hood scoop; high-tech louvered inserts (chromed to optimize flow) to direct cooling air to the doors; fully chromed finlets -- they may not be very tall, but the tailfins stretch all the way to the headlight surrounds. --rats
I'd rather have a 1977 with cheap aluminum slots and raised white letter wide tires. I want it to "used to be" gray but now a dull silver with pealing clear coat on the tops. let's now imagine the T-tops with lot's of dried out Duct Tape. it sounds great with the duel Cherry Bomb mufflers. the maroon carpet, door panels and headliner are doggone long gone. let's look in the glove compartment... yeah a bunch of dumbassed cassette tapes and that roll of Duct Tape... HEY LOOK a joint in the ashtray let's light it UP and trench the great big fat mean ladies lawn down at the corner. she hates us.
You darn kids need to just stay away from my lawn! I'm sick and tired of hearing you roar past at all hours when decent people should be home and in bed. If you can afford gas and all those tires you burn up then you can scrape together a few dollars to repair that broken exhaust, and if not then you should get back onto your bicycle until you can save up the money. I told your father to get you under control but he just said "It's his car and his tires" as if he had no control. No control! WHAT is with this younger generation? And my wife is not fat and she is well liked by the RESPECTABLE members of this community. Now stay off my lawn!

Very much the distinctive and clean 1961 body with "stuff added". A long way from the original 1955 !
