I was wondering if a 69' Electra Convertible was in a model form? I have been looking for one or even a 2 door hard top if anybody knows of one, Thanks !

I know about an AMT model kit of the model year 1962 Electra, but I never saw a model car/kit based on the 1969 Electra.

Molded in white and clear with chrome, black vinyl tires and water-release decals, optional custom parts included, and "New Retro" style packaging.

All original parts from 1962 back in the kit including 5 piece continental kit, finned brake drum, scissors jack, package tray mascot, custom headlights, deck scoop, telephone, fender skirts, side pipes, dual hood scoops, front roll pan, rear roll pan, exhaust covers, floating headrests.

About as close as you can get to a '69 Electra would be to find an AMT '69 Wildcat kit and then it would take alot of scratchbuilding and conversion work to convert it to an Electra. The '70 Wildcat kit is available again thru most hobby shops as a special edition run by the Model King & AMT/Round2.

I enjoy seeing conversion work done by a modeler named Juha Airo, it would be something that I'm sure he could convert right down to the last detail, his work and craftsmanship in conversions is awe inspiring!
