Harry P. Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Real or model? The answer: REAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 If this IS a model it's a NICE one. I THINK I've seen this rascal at Greenfeild Village/Henry Ford Museum. Or at least one just like it. They even give rides in one at the Village. I think it's REAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Based on the fine detail and something about the upholstery, I'll go with real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbdolfans Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Voted model. I think it is a converted kit of a popular show car.I think :lol: So it probably is real and I am a fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Boy Harry, that is a tough one. A lot to like and dislike. I chose Model just because I don't like the way the light plays off certian parts. On the other hand that front suspension is very delicate. It would take a lot of patients to do that in scale. I also think a period correct would have brass in a lot of places that there is polished nickle like the head lamps and the top rails. Now that I have voted I will have to do some research an see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddingwrestler Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 An interesting conundrum. Parts of the body look like plastic, but the pin stripes look real... THe wheels and seat also look more real to me... could be the light making a real body look plasticy, and I think the pinstripes do not help, they look sorta like highlights around the edges making for a more plasticy look. I voted real, but I've been wrong before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I say this one's as real as can be. It just looks kinda like a model because it's been "over-restored"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm going to guess it's another giant scale model, there's just some stuff on it that don't look right to me................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
