American Airlines Boeing 747-100 Polished Die-Cast Model

Dubbed the “LuxuryLiner” at American Airlines.

Delivered to American Airlines on December 29th, 1970, this Boeing 747-100 registered N9670 was the 10th example to enter their fleet. Primarily bare metal on the exterior, this classy polished airliner was decorated with red, white, and blue “cheat lines” down the fuselage and bold “AA” titles on the tail. Dubbed the “LuxuryLiner” from 1971 onwards, American 747-100s were uniquely fitted with a lower-deck galley and the “Captain’s Deck First-Class Lounge” that was advertised for customers who want “to think and dream BIG” on their travels. Spending 13 years with American Airlines, N9670 was transferred to Pan Am in 1984 with several other 747-100s, in exchange for McDonnell Douglas DC-10s.

History and Specifications:
Introduced in 1970 and now one of the most prolific commercial aircraft in the world, Boeing’s 747 jumbo jet revolutionized air travel. Debuted in 747-100 specification, the aircraft was outfitted with between 397 (three-class) and 500 (all-economy) seats in ten-abreast configuration. Reaching speeds up to 600 mph and altitudes over 45,000 ft, the 747-100 had superior range than many contemporaries while carrying double or even triple the number of passengers onboard. Manufactured in Everett, Washington, Boeing produced 1,574 examples between 1970 and 2023 for hundreds of airlines worldwide.
