Nice build, and a bit different.

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

Now that just looks really sharp there Robert.  I'll bet that hand crank was a chore back in the day when it was cold out and the ole truck just didn't want to start.

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

Thanks for the kind words.

I bought them over 20 years ago, when I had both Money and Time.  I was working 12 hour Graveyard shifts, 7pm to 8am. I made lot's of O.T., and the pay was very good. I had access and permission to surf the web at work, as long as I always answered the phone!  Between my wife and I we'd spend between $800.00 to $1200.00 a month on eBay items. I spent the nights haunting eBay for deals, and bought multiples of Model T Ford Kits. I still have most of them.

I wish Round2 could conjure up the Parts for this kit.

It is the same base kit as the '27 Police Touring car from a few years ago, so I know the base kit is still viable.

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.

Oh, the AMT Kit! Great Work! It is such a wonderful kit.  You did a Fantastic job on the kit. Those wire wheels are a bear to get together neatly. Yours look really good. The detail painting is Spot On!

I have three in my stash.

Good Show.

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

Some very delicate work there Robert. Well done and I think this might take the prize for a model of the earliest car I've seen on this forum!

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

Excellent,I like the green wheels ?

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

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. 

[Let’s see your oldest surviving builds]

Here are my oldest survivors from 1953. Gowland and Gowland started manufacturing plastic models in 1/32 scale. I jumped right on these as I had been attempting to build the wood Hudson Miniatures. I stopped building them in 1954 when the prices went up to $1.25 per model which was the 1915 Ford Center Door - the last photo. At that time I was working after high school for $0.75 per hour. I packed them in a box that moved with members of my family until 1978 when they returned to me. In 2003 I started building models again and have a complete set of G&G vehicles.

Love these nicely made classic oldies Robert. Are these all one brand and one scale?

The scales vary from 1/28 to 1/16. Hudson Miniatures (wood models), Tin Lizzy Crafts (wood), Missing Link, Revell, Fador Smallsters(wood), not necessarily in that order.
