Paul Hettick Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This started as a Modelhaus 57 Plymouth wagon. Grafted an AMT 58 front clip and suspension. Made a rear facing third seat, re did the seat patterns, cobbled up a wide block 318 by taking molds from a Franklin Mint 58 Plymouth heads and valve covers. Used the AMT Plymouth manifold and block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Very real looking build. I like how you created the seat materials to match the 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 That's purdy! The color is what really grabs me. I'm a sucker for this sort of "oddball" color. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 This is a great looking car as a Wagon. Seen a couple of them in 1:1 scale but this has to be the first model of this car that I've ever seen. Excellent work as always. This color is a perfect choice for a '58 Plymouth.

TarheelRick Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Beautiful build. Like the color combination and as mentioned that seat pattern is outstanding. Only thing missing is a couple of suitcases and kids in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm always drawn to unusual subjects like this. The color is not what I'm used to seeing, which greatly adds to the authenticity. Also, it's beautifully done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
