Lee, that's a sharp looking Studebaker! Hard to find in real life!

I've got five Studebakers, down from seven.

Real actual full sized cars.

Now where is the tow truck?

I’ve got one 

BOIN106 :  What a car show, you covered most of my life.  The 40 Ford coupe was Dad's car in the late 40's just after we got rid of a '36 Chevy.  My best friend in High School, his Dad's car, which became transportation once we got our licenses, was a 48 Buick (although not a convertible - DRAT!).  My wife's (girlfriend at the time) family had a 48 Woody station wagon (Pontiac), we got our Milk from Forest Dairy, North Arlington, N.J. in a Devco delivery truck each morning and in the early 60's as I was finishing high school (graduated in '62) a group of friends (4 in fact) chipped in and jointly owned a '50 Ford convertible !! 

Loved the pictures of your models...thank you

The truck is a Corgi Mack B61 and I added a tow body from a toy 1950 Chevrolet don’t recall the name of it I also added some details from Don Mills Models I think I have posted it here in early post

Paul that’s a Mack C made by Signature I have one just like it I need to post it they are nice. Are those instruments lighted? 

Hey Lee, I believe the instruments may be lighted. I'll have to check.

I just see green lights on the side may be a reflection 

One of my real life favorites"

Ted, I fell in love with '54 Mercs as a teen, to me it was the most beautiful.

Thanks for bringing back the memories

Ted, the tow truck finally arrived...notice the expression on the drivers face, with a cold one in his hand.  He seems quite amused with the situation, as he evaluates the situation before hooking up the Riviera!   

That a real nice model car directly above...is it a '54 Mercury?  Do you know the brand??

Just noticed Ray's posting right above mine...he mentions '54 Merc!  I was composing my post while he was posting...

Today I stripped a few old Tootsietoy Trucks for my o27 layout I plan to start building. This one is a B Model Mack that will be a Mobil tanker the trailer will be from the old Revell kit that will have the old Tootsietoy wheels
