Harry P. Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Real or model? Remember, if you know the answer for sure (you know the source of the photo), don't post it here! It ruins the game for everyone else. The answer: MODEL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timc Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I say large scale model this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsrus Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) maybe it's both. It is real and maybe it's a model. Edited March 2, 2015 by customsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm going to say real. Beautifully looked after and in concours condition, but real... bestest, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Whatever it is, this car is probably responsible for my interest in model cars. When I was a small kid, my Dad took me to a toy store where I found a gray metal XK 120 that I really wanted. But at about $8, he thought it was too expensive and my disappointment was huge. This was in the early to mid-50s. I've probably been compensating ever since (and yes, I have a Monogram metal kit in my stash). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The gaps seem a little too wide for a meticulously manufactured sportster. I'm going with model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherunicorn Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I certainly has the model vibe, but I still think it is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Going model this time, something just looks like it's painted in the separation of colors on the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrindy77 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Originally painted Suede Green, the car was re-sprayed to Gable’s specifications. Its unique color is known as ‘Gable Grey’ and it was actually mixed by Roger Barlow and Clark Gable. Best in Class at Pebble Beach 2012 and well deserved...she's a real beauty Clark.

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Harry's probably out driving his new Mustang. This could take a while...(sound of crickets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Maybe there's some doubt as to whether the photo is in fact model or real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
