Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Going to a car dealer today just gets me bored, but, it was way different in 1953. Ford and Chevrolet were doing battle, with ads bashing each other. Me? I got both!! The Bel Air looks bigger, and taller, but that is because the Revell kit is 1:24 scale, and the Crestline by Lindberg is 1:25 scale. 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford and 1953 Chevrolet by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Great idea showing 2 brands from the same year. Gives a good visual of what buyers had to choose from back in 53. I kinda like the Ford design better, it looks a little sleeker than the Chevy. And I like Chevy's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Henry Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I really love them both. The Chevy looks kind of square, but that is the kit's fault. They molded the body in a way the car looks like a brick. Giving serious thought about painting my Sunliner black. Would you consider casting some hubcaps for me?? Like the ones on your Sunliner??

mrmike Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Both look great! Back in the day, my father had a '53 Ford convertible and my uncle had a '53 Chevy convertible and both were the same color combo. Red body with a red interior and a black top.
