Great looking suspension, paint job and detailing.  When I was a kid my neighbor had a '60 Starliner. I thought that that was the coolist looking car, especially with the chrome stars on the "C" pillar. His car had a 352 engine. It had a lot of get-up and go. My dad bought a 1961 Ford Galaxie with the "Mileage Maker Six" engine. It had NO get-up and go.

Your comments and questions are always welcome.

Thanks for posting.  I enjoy cars from that era.  The only error I see is that if you're putting NWT plates on it, you need more grime and bug splats.

N - I - C - E!!!!! Don't you just love all the room you had under the hood to work on the engine (if they needed it)?

And your camera work is as outstanding as your subject. Nice touch on the headlight burst.

Nicely done.

Yeah, they did use a lot of the shiny stuff back then.  Seems like more chrome than paint at times.

Beautiful. How did you simulate the lit headlights?

I wish they still built cars like that, from the Golden Age.  Great styling on most of them!  Today's cars mostly look like tennis shoes or potatoes.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Really nicely built. I'd need a drink after setting that model on it's roof.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Very nice.  Is the body a custom mix color?  Undercarriage is great as well
