I posted an earlier version of this model several years back but this one has the exciting window box. I believe the window boxes started in 1968 and this version until 1970-71. The model was first released in 1964 and sold through 1972. Information is a little fuzzy with the Yesteryears.
Anyway this one is a little gem. It what was called a town car or limousine. Perfect for going to the opera or theater.
That is so cool! Reminds me of the Munster Koach. I wonder if that's where they got the idea to build it? Great post!!
Never seen or heard of one before. Interesting old car. You might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=tU1UbyWyfuo
fortapache, Cool.
Another vehicle from the 'good old days" when the wealthy sat inside all cosy while their servant braved the elements. };-)

DejaVu2, The Munster Koach (apparently made from three different Model T bodies):

fortapache, I was so focused with the uncovered driver compartment that I failed to notice that the passenger compartment isn't entirely covered, either.
An odd arrangement.
Thank you very much Deja Vu. Keramikos covered that.
Thank you very much elanski. Cool video. It is noisier than I thought.
Thank you very much keramikos. That may be the car it was modeled after.
