Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them

Here is a '53 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible I picked up at Hobby Lobby on Saturday. It's already a selling at a premium on eBay. I paid $7.99. I saw a red on one eBay as well as the cream that I got. Slightly smaller than 1:43/1:50 but cool anyway. (I spent five minutes or better trying to find the scale on the package.) It's about the same size as my 1981 Cadillac Seville which is in the same color as the full sized one in my garage. (How cool is that?" Also pictured is the Lionel Barrel Loader I just finished. (I need to fabricate the missing ramp extension that was missing from the loose parts in the kit.) Rubbing Tuscan Red paint onto the "wood" makes it look a little more real. (I went ahead and used some plastic from a frozen food item I had used as a spray paint "touch up) container, then glued some card stock on the edges and a little paint. It doesn't look too bad for home made and twenty minutes work.) 

Picked these up the other day ……. that B&M delivery van is about the shiniest piece of diecast I've ever come across. I may mask it off and shoot it with a layer of dullcoat.

Four Photos for Today:  1) Edsel with smootchers,  2)US Mail Jeep, 3)US Mail Jeep & 1947 Renault w/53 Chevy pickup, 4) today's traffic on Patsburg Ave. 

I was going to add some shots of my full sized Seville but I "updated" Windows the other day and evidently, some things have "changed." Anyhow, my full sized one is the exact color combination of the model. Thanks to Rob, the PRR sign guy who helped me with the sign on the building.  As a side note, the nose of the "real" car is pointing to the roadbed of the PRR (Vandalia) RR tracks that remain. (About 75 feet away.) 

If you were older than 8 years old on this date in 1963, you remember where you were.  Here's the Norev model of the Kennedy limousine. I just leave it in the box.

Great model of JFK's limo - on 11/22/63 I was in Omaha , 2 weeks  before my Air Force discharge.

Recently bought this nice 1/43 1953 Hudson Hornet on E-bay 

Oops - that is a 51 Hudson 

Gem, nice car, just be careful in cold weather.  Sometimes they don't want to start, even after new spark plugs installed'....😏

Probably have to choke it! LOL - thanks for the reply - who's the cute blond in the photo?

That's a gorgeous scene, sidehack.  I don't know which parts I like best: The guy with the tire, that nice Branch COE, or the D&H (you can never go wrong with that line :-).
