Kodiak Island Modeler Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 This is my latest project. I turned a 56 Chevy DelRay (210) into a 150 4 door sedan and put it to work as a taxi. The taxi theme is a direction that I generally don't follow. It seems that whenever it's mentioned that one is making a 4 door car that it's assumed that it will be a police car or a taxi, but this one just seemed to call out to be a taxi. I'm including a comparison photo to display the changes that were performed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougp Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Very nice, are those snow tires on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Great looking Taxi ! I did a double take when I saw the snow tires but then I saw where you are ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Cool. I recently bought an old F&F resin '56 Chevy 4 door sedan body and was thinking of doing mine as a US Army staff car. I already have a pair of taxis in the works, Dodge Caravan and '62 Valiant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Cool build and, yes, I like the snows too ... a proper Taxi now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would have guessed it was a resin body, nice conversion, looks real. I never thought 4 doors were cool but, as models they really are. Love the taxi. A buddy of mine had a 4 door '56 with a 327 and 4 speed that fooled a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that any tri-5 Chevy is cool now a days. The Aussies only had 4 doors so they worked with what they had and built some neat rods. In the future we'll see more 1:1s rodded as they will be the only ones affordable for some. Me? I'd love to have a '56 4 door hardtop. I just love those lines!
