'47 Chevy Fleetmaster Custom Coupe, 1:25 scale model, kit by Galaxie Models

Another awesome build!  What did you use to paint the frame - I really like the textured look.

That is a beautiful model. One glaring error however. You have the distributor where the starter goes and the starter where the distributor goes. Not sure how you mixed them up.

Lee this was a optional, though very short lived, anti-theft device. It was to be activated by using special quick change bolts to swap the starter and distributor.  So a  would be, thief would, upon trying to figure out why the car wouldn't start and  opening the hood would see all the parts there-but being a dumb thief- would not recognize the switch. As stated this option was withdrawn from service after the only car so equipped, was sold to an novice buyer in East Undershirt New Jersey in May of 1947.   Buit you probly already knew all that.

Thanks - this is indeed the car that I was thinking of. Its rare, so I do undersatnd that not everyone would have immediately understood that! 

(@buildingcars4fun bows his head in shame as he admits he is no mechanic, and was going for asthetics over functionality!)

No reason to be ashamed, just a friendly correction. You will know for next time lol.

Good lookin' build bud.
