It's either real,

Real. Look at the panel lines, trim and all the stuff underneath that's visible.

What the heck is a Rolls Royce "Carnardly"? Except for the Parthenon grille shell and Spirit of Ecstacy hood mascot, it would pass for a Bently Continental of the same vintage. I consider that car to be among the most beautiful cars of the 1950's. At first I wanted to say model (and small scale at that), but the more I looked at it, the more things said REAL to me. The only thing that still bothers me about that is the distortion in the windshield. Hey, that can happen in 1:1, but the left rear tire that is a few p.s.i. low is very hard to simulate in a model!

I say model, Anybody can add valve stems and such. Right techniques can make a break for realism or just a noticable model!
