This is indeed a Corgi'...

Does it say Corgi on the bottom? The Bottom of your truck still has the original frame Should look like this.

Picked up this '57 Nomad at my LHS over the weekend. Always one of my favorite cars - love the ribbed half-roof.

Richie, that's a nice score at the hobby shop...the "Nomad" has always been a favorite of mine...here's my '55 for sale with the other '55's at the dealership...

KJ365, Nice auto carrier and car hauler and I have to agree some really nice Ford trucks, and it looks like someone snuk a grand Torino on the back of the auto carrier. Kind of makes you wonder if that is for the owner of the auto dealer! LOL

Paul, great scene. I have a feeling that wherever the ladies go for happy hour there will be plenty of free drinks for them all!

Nothing new from me today sorry!

Mike, the gals always buy any "vet" a drink at the happy hour...only criteria is you must be present in the "dress summer uniform"...for the Marine, blue pants, kaki short sleeve shirt, and white cap...

Thinking about The Beach Boys,  (my favorite group), I caught this young lady picking up a new board down at the depot, and loading it in her 1939 Ford “woody”. Soon, she’ll head for the Jersey shore, singing  “Catch a Wave”.

Artie, I was looking for your "board" and "buggy" out there this weekend...the surf was rough as the hurricane passed by out to sea...  These guys and gals missed the big one and didn't catch this wave, but I was thinking of the song as I snapped the pic...notice the rainbow in the mist...

Thanks - that's a nice '55, too - all of the tri-fives are great looking cars.

Great photos everyone! Paul you have one of the best car dealerships on any layout! As far as summer dress, use to have them. All I have left is a complete set of dress blues for my final day!

You all make the old time cars looks so amazing, your even making a modern day guy thinking about getting more 50 & 60 cars!

Artie  Richie and Paul your wagons look very nice thanks for sharing them I agree with Mike nice pics today

Thanks for the comments, guys!
Paul, great surf pic.

Hey, I have one of my photos in the Oct/Nov. OGR!

I’ve posted this truck before but some haven’t seen it.

@lee drennen wow! I have not seen that- that is one nice truck- paint is exquisite & crisp. Whose the mfg? Or did you do that yourself?(Many in this thread have incredible scratch building abilities so I don’t feel this question is dumb)

@Capetrainman that is a really cool dealership you have going! The landscaping around it is on point!I love the extra benefits that some  accessory buildings bring. Ex- a Menards police station has the tunnel through the building and can be a place for your extra police vehicles. Your dealership is ripe with those benefits- place for your 1955, era-specific cars, figures to “converse” with each other, twice a year decorate a little bit for some deals, etc... Gotta love this hobby!

Here are some things I picked up at yesterday’s train show in Hamburg, PA. While the turnout(sellers and buyers) was less than usual, There were A LOT of diecast vehicles- both NIB and loose-to be had for great prices!(none more than $10!)

In the two pics below(right to left): Corgi Classics Seagraves Anniversary pumper, Dinky Toys Lincoln Continental, Corgi Classics Greyhound Bus(destination Chicago), Matchbox Super Kong’s Mercedes-Benz “Binz” ambulance, Corgi Commer 3/4 truck(making it’s delivery to the food stand)

Not new,But first time on my layout- from my dad’s Collection- Corgi Major Exxon tractor & tanker

Corgi 1:48 scale Birney trolley($10!!)

The container isn’t diecast, but the chassis is, both Came with the K-Line TCA Exclusive Front Runner I got 2 weeks back

The first 3 pics scene was set to include all the vehicles to keep post shorter- that said, they all fit great on the layout!
