THis is from a kit. Hudson Miniatures issued 20 wood kits in 1/16 scale from 1949 to 1954. Fador Authentic Smallsters issued 9 wood 1/16-scale model kits at the same time. Look on eBay under Models and Hobbies. There are about 30 Hudson Miniatures and about a dozen Fador Smallsterss offered for sale right now. They all include plans, necessary wood, cast plastic or metal wheels, and necessary wire to complete the models. Some are relatively simple; some are really trying. All are worth the effort. I have all the Smallsters built and have five of the Hudson Miniatures to finish. Look at my other attachments for their photos. If you cannot find them, message me. Attached is a Smallster 1905 White Touring, a steam-driven vehicle in real life.

It closely resembles a Hudson Miniatures 1910 Ford Model T Torpedo kit from 1949. The difference being a single seat in the rear instead of a gas tank and trunk. The rear fenders are not as curved as the 1910 model. This model was built many years ago. The builder did an excellent job of painting and soldering. Just now, comparing them side by side, I believe it is a 1910 model with the rear seat added, not a 1912. Note attachments.

1907 Bianchi 1/32 scale kit manufactured by Aoshima.

1912 Ford Model T Runabout. Wood 1/16 scale model I purchased with several others that needed restoration. It needed new springs, running gear, paint touch-up, and regluing loose parts.

1932 Chevrolet Convertible, 125 scale MPC 302-149 (3in1) Budd Anderson Master Kit (undated).

Has anyone seen any of these?

Most of my builds are different as most are out-of-production wood models.

The cranks had a nasty habit of kicking back in every weather!

Thanks for the kind words.

1913 Ford Model T Roadster 1/24 scale.

I built one about 12 years ago and gave it to a retired fire chief here. I asked him about it recently and he said it had gone adrift.

You have three? I was hard pressed to find this one!

Nice work on the wheels!

Here are some earlier cars. 1891 Panhard, 1893 Duryea, 1895 Panhard Coupe, 1877 Seldon Horseless Carriage.

The wheels on the original car were wood with iron treads, just as on a horse draw wagon.wagon.

Four inches long, 2.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches high at the back of the seat.

1895 Duryea, 1/25 scale, resin casting manufactured by Genesis2Scale LLC, Tampa, FL in 2010. Very porous casting that took a lot of filling and sanding. This is the only model produced.
