I used the Woodland Scenics #PF5895 Deuce’s Bike Shop Kit to make my Chevrolet OK Used Car Lot. The accessaries that came with the kit, I turned into the biker’s hang out.

Hey Capetrainman, very nice indeed. Makes me recall when my Dad and I went to see the debut of the 1955 Chevrolet when it was introduced at the dealership in Fullerton, California. A red and white Bel Air was on the showroom floor with the new V8. I have been a Chevy man ever since. The dealership just happen to be on the same street as the Santa Fe Depot. The best of times.
Impressive!
Curt: Your OK car lot comes at the right time with Menards having just released their new O gauge TTX dual car loading flat car with six Ford pick up trucks.
A few guys mentioned that they don't know what to do with all the trucks. Perfect timing indeed! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful scene from any angle! Long live Super-O track. Looks great too!

Well done!

Curt, nice repurposing of the kit and the detail items. It looks like Officer Krupke is giving the Two-Wheelers a hard time. I like the signage, where did you get it?
The sign is made by Miller Engineering and I purchased it from Scenic Express. It was a limited production item, so you might check to see if they still have it. I advise getting the power converter with it. You can’t hook them up to a ZW transformer.
I thought it may be a Miller sign.
Awesome

Cars of the 1950s capture my imagination, especially the long-gone brands. I own a 1956 Continental Mark II as proof of loyalty to that era!
I never owned a Studebaker, but I collected several 1:48 models of various years of those iconic autos. I wanted to show them on my L-shaped layout, so I decorated a showroom building as a Studebaker dealership with a used car lot alongside. The rooftop sign is fragile. I broke it twice when installing it but re-glued it. The showroom features a Stude Golden Hawk on a rotating turntable. The gold-color car in front wasn't made by Studebaker, but the actual prototype is the MANTA RAY, a one-of-a-kind custom-made car with a Stude chassis and running gear. That model (and most of the other Studes in this scene) are by Diecast Direct. IMHO, the 1953 Stude is the best of the best!

Curt - Love your OK Used Cars lot!! Creative repurposing! Nice variety of used vehicles for sale too. Well done!!
Curt, where did you get the figures you show in the final shot? They look very realistic
Walter's did a showroom many years ago that was re-issued by Atlas. Walther's model pictured.
Great job Curt! Nice to see the others as well.
Figures are from Woodland Scenics and the businessmen set from Bachman.
I am sorry, the final shot figures are Chooholligans from Scenic Express.
This is my Tucker Dealer, The first photo is current and the other two were taken before I did some layout changes. I am hoping someday Miller Engineering will do a Tucker sign.
