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

Thanks for the background on the 1949 Mercury, Ted.  At first I wondered whether it was a Caddy.  And, what a great vision of repurposing a box for the Diner sign .

TRRR

Nice job, also - Lee.

Curt - that '67 pre-Z looks great - pics of mine below.

Lots of nice cars, QG.

Hey Richie, for no more than they cost they do a nice job on the paint. I have two others of the same car, just different colors. CurtYellow and gold.

That's a very good looking diner scene, Quarter Guager.  Love the details you've included.

Hey Curt'.. I really like that two tone 55 Chevy'.... Haven't seen a red/white in 1/43 scale'...

Hey Ted, I think I got the ‘55 from Diecast Models Wholesale a few years ago. I haven’t seen any since. Chevrolet had some neat two tone colors back then on the ‘55, ‘56, and ‘57 Bel Air models. Curt

Ted, outstanding scene composition. Very cool how you scratch built the sign. You have some very sweet autos hu in your stable. By the way, nice touch including the truck.

The weather is finally clear'. So I thought we should go get a bite to eat at Hammie's Diner.  There is always a great selection of cars in the lot and the best hamburgers in town....🍔🥤😊

Ted, great scene...nice cars and figures!  Makes we want to have a couple of "dogs" hold the relish

The '54, '55 soft yellow Merc with the "optional" green tinted roof looks familiar...Collectors Classics maybe??

Some '55 Chevy two-tones in 1/43...there's a red / white version somewhere on the layout...lol

Sharing a couple of my finds over the last month. First, can someone tell me how to put the attachments on this First Response Replicas Police Package Chevy Tahoe?? No directions, do I just glue on as I see fit?

And now for the diecast

Morning Paul, I sure love this scene at the BEECROFT CHEVROLET! some great looking 55's! But I still love the vett! You can't go wrong with a black and silver convertible corvette.

Oh one more thing Paul, and not to nit pick. but sure hope the HOT brunette on the roof gets to come down for breaks, lunch and get to go on her dates at night! That red dress is really working for her! LOL

Gotta love those mid-'60's black striped muscle cars and that Yenko looks great.

Hey Richie, you and I seem to like the same cars.

Remember the movie Diggstown, when Bruce Dern takes his spoiled brat son to the basement of the gym and gives him the red and white Corvette? Even though I don’t have a gym, the movie inspired this scene at my dealership.

Not sure what makes you say that .......

Looks like everyone had a great Friday night! This must be one of the few times I haven't seen the law bothering folks! They must be at the other end of town!

The Plymouth and Dodge guys were holding court at the Friday night rally....the "Chargers" and "Challenger" weren't the only points of attraction among their group...

Paul, those Mopar beasts sure attract the ladies!

@StevefromPA The police vehicle looks like it is generic, so you can make it one you like.  If there aren't any holes in the bumper or anywhere for the accessories then you would need to glue them on.  Google Chevy Tahoe Police Vehicle and look at the images, find one you like and copy it.

Here is an ERTL 50 Ford repainted to Army green at the recruiting center.

And that Ford is parked in front of a fantastically detailed building.  Nice scene.

Mike, she calls the shots at the dealership, and takes breaks whenever she likes!  The GM always gives her the "Salesperson of the Quarter" award...hmmm, I wonder why   

The "boss" arrives at the station to take the 7:10 to New York...big powwow tomorrow...

Paul, you and Ted must have the hottest ladies here on the forum! But is sure is funny that the big Boss doesn't have one on his arm. He must be a real D***! LOL

Mikey Nice job on the repaint of the ford!

A Lackawanna “pup” trailer awaits unloading at Lionelville.

Look out guys, Christine is coming to town.

Wonder what song she’s playing

Hey Lee, “I Get Around” by the Beach Boys. Curt

An REA truck backs in to the platform at Lionelville. I’ve been looking for this for over nine years, since Lionel announced them. It will also fit well on my PS4 with trailer hitches.

Curt, after "I Get Around,"  "All Summer Long!"

Mike, the "Boss" has one waiting at the other end of the train trip...lol

After the car rally on North Main, the "Dodge" guys headed over to Molly's place for a cold one...somehow, the guy with the red SS 396 tagged along...

My latest addition to trucks.

Curt, it appears that "Christine" reached her destination...happy hour at "Fitz's" on North Main...
