Some great photos here.
I like my Hot Rods and the girls that go with them!

I am in the camp with weathering vehicles for that old reliable look. Here is one I am presently working on.
A few more from the TinTin range.

Looks, to me, like FDR riding in his open-limo on the way to his inauguration. How nice.

The tuscan red Lancia on the upper right is the reason you should read "The Calculus Affair.
How could I have missed these, just love the Windsor would love one in 1:1 scale . Were they any good in their day?
For other TinTin fans here's the full set.

Who makes these?
womble. The Windsor was a 6-cylinder, with fluid drive. The New Yorker was a straight 8. On the wheel shifter, 1st, if you wanted it, was up where 2nd would be on a cirrent 3-spped wheel shift car. Put it down were 3rd is, and the car would choose between 2nd and third. On Dodge, the fluid drive was a standard 3-speed layout. On both, you could just leave it in top speed. Fluid drive was a fluid coupling, not a torque converter.
Cool topic. I'm a big fan of Norscot CAT products, First Response modern emergency vehicles and work trucks and also the IXO brand for modern taxis.
Hi yardlet6 they were made for Atlas editions in China under the trade mark of Herge/Moulinsart .
I belive they were for sale with a magazine in France.

My Sword Peterbilts (some customized by me) and some heavy equipment to go with them.
Claus, some nice weathering on the tractors!
For me it would have to be the Corgi Mack CF Engine and Tower. The Mack CFs are probably the nicest looking fire trucks ever made, unfortunately my department got rid of ours long before I was a member.
Virgin Cats and Petes in the dirt. Mostly box stock stuff with the exception that I added stainless miter cut tops to the stacks on both trucks.
My Dad has been looking for one of these for awhile now. If anyone out there has one they would be willing to sell please let me know.
I wish someone would make a lumber carrier. With all the lumber yard kits around I think they would be a big seller. Something different. I remember seeing them on the streets in Los Angeles in the early 50s. They used them in many comedy movies with cars going through them. Don
I like the 1948-1952 Ford pickups. Here's a GMC in a scene my grandson came up with - I told him it couldn't be a Ford!
