peter31a Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Man I'm torn! I want to say real but another part of me is saying model. Maybe I should say it's a real model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txdieseldog Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Check the end joint on the steering linkage and the grease zerks on the door hinges. It's real. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Hmm. Toughest one yet. Like Master Modeller, I don't see spark plug wires, and I would think that throttle linkage would be more visible. There's not a lot of differentiation in the chrome and other metal finishes – most of the stacks I see that are intended to look like chrome are shinier. Looks like there's a vertical seam up the side of the front tank, and the hoses look unnaturally crimped. I've seen front spoked wheels like these on the model aftermarket. But the vented windshield certainly looks real, as does the steering linkage, and the perforations in the axle and sun visor look perfect. The tire treads also look very real. Therefore, beats the heck out of me. Edited April 25, 2011 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperdrumstix Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I do see the spark plug wires but the front tires look like they have been sanded. I have some of those little tires that look like these. The front 12 spokes come in the AMT '56 Ford kit. The grease zerks in the front hinges could be the strait pin hinges. I think this is a model possibly of the Monogram 30 Ford coupe with body modifications. Model. Patrick M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Mo-dell. If real, the headlights would point in the same direction and the front tires would not be irregularly scuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzard Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 That my friends is a real car is my opinion. I say it is real by the rear tires. Same as on the full size Big T at Starbirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
