Thanks, Lee - I did some minor details, like painting the interior a saddle brown; adding some chrome highlights to the door handles, emblems, etc.; and red and orange for the tailights and directional lenses.

Except for the side pipes, it's an almost perfect match for my real one !

Richie. That’s sweet thanks for posting 

  ERTL 1948 Diamond T

From an old layout...

I've posted these vehicles before, however, in settings different from these. 

A number of immediate post war vehicles, including large trucks, were carried forward with no styling changes.  Was that 1948 Diamond T almost identical, at this scale, to 1940 models, and usable for that era on layouts?

According to automotive history, 1949, was the major new design change for most manufactures. 41- 48 was static....

Ray. Always like the 1948 Diamond Ts I think Ertl was a little off on there scale on this one looks to me like it’s 1/48 not 1/43 thanks for posting
