BigJoe23 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I vote real, I'm looking at the front license plate on the bumper and it looks too thin to be a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger U Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'll say real. As others have said some of the small details look too good to be for a model and, I also think almost any modeller would have put bigger wheels and tires in the rear?

No kidding, even if it only had a warmed over 383 and loud mufflers, I would have stuck more tire on the back of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi....im going to have to say its a model,but at first glance i wanted to say real....the reason for saying model is the tires arent squiched from the weight of the car.....thats the only reason though. very nice!!! I think it's real, the tires may just be overinflated... ! I'm going with real... check out the weatherstrip in the wing-vent windows- I don't see how ANYBODY could replicate that as well as it looks in the photo. Then again, I'm a ham-fisted, semitalented hack, so what the hey-all do I know!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeepx Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Real, but I don't know why. It just doesn't look like a model or diecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Cullinan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I vote real.I see front tire down with weight and the rivet on outside corner of front bumper that makes me think it's too much unnoticed detail for a model.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what kind of tipped me off.... sheesh, not even Bill goes to that level of detail! Well, not on the wing window weatherstripping, anyway!

Ddms Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Real or model, Harry did a heckuva Photoshop job on the shadow and reflection. (It's obvious that the shadow is computer generated, but it's still beautifully done.) I give it a very uneasy "real car" vote, mainly because the hood scoop material is so thin.

Ddms Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I followed that link, too. Interesting that the car in the original photo didn't have an antenna. Why did you put that in there, Harry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
