I am going with Model,,,only reason being it seems that the tires have parting seams in the middle and I have never saw a 1:1 tire made that way,,,I could be way off I guess,,,but sticking with Model,,,

Tires come from a mold too, (real ones that is) check out the next ones you buy before they're mounted. But I said model too for a different reason.

I might have done a similar car in the past, but never this particular one.

Right you are. This is a type C and the prior one was the Type D that created all the stir at Christy's a couple of years ago. I remember it because I got yelled at for giving it away(didn't know the rules) That one was real, this one is anyones guess. All though the #5 car does exist it is a replica. The original was destroyed after the war buy the Russians. Don't know if this is the replica or a model but if it is a model my hat is off to the builder. Either way it is a great example of 30's automotive art. Love it!
