I once bought a Mustang from M2 machines and it was huge compared to the rest of the cars in my personal collection. I gave it to my kids to play with and I never bought another M2.

4:58 68 has round marker lights and round turn signals in the grille. 69 has rectangle marker _reflectors_ (a loophole that was closed for 70) and also rectangle turn signals in the grille.

If you have one, try putting that next to one of their own Dodge A-100 vans, or even a Ford Econoline forward control van. I'd almost bet that this Dart is comically larger than them. I don't think you'd even be able to pair it up with one of their own transport trucks. I have a few of their Dodge 600 series trucks, a tractor/trailer, a ramp truck and a rollback, and the cars that shipped on those look great paired together. I don't know, I just don't see this Dart pairing up with much of anything without dwarfing it. Pretty car to be sure, damn pretty, but I think you're right about it probably better suited as a hanging display. I love it when they do cars with pov caps instead of the tired and boring S/S mags. One in particular that I have is a little darker than turquoise-ish '69 Barracuda with redline tires and pov caps on body colored four slot steel wheels. Another is a green '69 Road Runner Hemi. Same thing as the Barracuda.

From the arch forward to the grill that fender looks like it belongs on a 1970 Road Runner.

Any diorama needs to be scale specific. I feel your pain. Don't integrate other scales.

Maybe you can get away with putting the oversized Dart Swinger in a bay on a lift in the Grand Spaulding Dodge diorama.

So, Markerlights surfaced 1969 ?

U are a perfectionist like me, i collect 1/18 so everything must me perfect!
