If the two front wheels are welded together, why two separate tires? And why weld two wheels together in the first place?

You're right. Separate part or not, same problem would exist.

Since when does a "trike" have 4 wheels???

Or the fuel filler door could have been a separate piece, the mold split differently and the seam line eliminated altogether.

A lot of you got this one partly right. Many of you got the "Studebaker" part... but missed on the model year and model name. It's a 1956 Studebaker Transtar. New features on 1956 2E-series trucks included a revised hood and triangular parking lights. External door sun visors were made standard equipment on the line in an apparent effort to make the cabs appear wider. Taking a cue from the public, which in 1955 was buying 80 percent of its new cars in two-tone combinations, Studebaker offered its half-ton in Shasta White and Cherokee Red with a "passenger car" interior trimmed in Shasta White. The 1956 Studebaker truck got a new name, "Transtar." Though the basic styling dated from 1949, several significant changes were evident. A new, more rounded hood with a large, open "Studebaker" nameplate in the front was the most obvious. Several new two-tone paint combinations were offered in an eye-catching pattern that distinguished it from anything else on the road. The "Transtar" name was placed on the front edge of the doors. Eight-cylinder models had a V-8 emblem on the back edge of the hood. A "DeLuxe" cab option was offered at $31.82, and those so equipped had the word DeLuxe below the Transtar nameplate. The pickup box was widened by three inches for 1956, necessitating a new tailgate and rear tread. For the first time, an eight-foot box was also made available on the half-ton. The electrical system was changed from six-volt positive ground to 12-volt negative ground and key starting was adopted. Prior to this, all standard-shift models had the starter button under clutch. A limited-slip differential, which Studebaker called Twin Traction, was a $26.52 option (the first time any manufacturer had offered this option on a truck). Engine options were essentially the same as in 1955. The 1956 trucks were designated as 2E models.

We have them here, too. They're everywhere, and they have absolutely no fear of humans. They'll stare you down!

Hmmmmmm... don't know what to make of this one. Definitely not a typical C-mos creation... kinda sleepy, kinda boring... not a bad job, but I hafta ask... why? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............

I like your work! Very well done.

Check out the first photo. Mama duck really shouldn't be smoking around the kids!

Still not available on the newstands... but why not subscribe? You actually save money if you subscribe vs. buying eash issue individually, plus it comes right to your door!

Nothing wrong with that, is there?

I think it fits in either place. It's a car... it's a truck... it's both!

Nice! I especially like the first two and the last one... but they're all very good.

That's cool! Beautiful model, great weathering, good overall look... I like it!

Buick called... they want their portholes back...

For checking your hair...

A blonde in an old VW Beetle was driving down the road when she saw another old Beetle parked on the side of the road with a blonde frantically waving. The first blonde stopped and asked the second blonde what the problem was. The second blonde replied: "My car broke down, and when I opened the hood to see what was wrong I found out that someone had stolen my engine!!!" The first blonde answered: "Don't worry... I have a spare engine in the trunk!" Hope I posted this in the right place. This is a VW joke thread, right???

Nice... but where are the outside rear view mirrors?

That's just about the smoothest fade I've ever seen. Pretty cool...

That says it all.

That's like asking when the first tuck 'n' roll interior was created. Impossible to say.

They are grounding straps. Nice work, BTW... very clean, very cool...

Man, those ducks are slobs... throwing their candy wrappers everywhere...

Looks like it should have starred in the movie "Cars"... Hey! We have a Mazda emoticon!

I don't want to get too complicated here... because there are many variables. But the most important thing is to start with a sharp, clear image. Whatever you do to it (enlarge or reduce)... unless you have some Photoshop or other photo-editing software skill, your final image will only be as good as what you started with. And of course, the image quality will ultimately be limited to whatever capability your printer has. I could give you a whole Photoediting 101 class here, but that's beyond the scope of your question, and besides, it's pretty technical. Just remember to find the best possible image you can to start with, and you should be ok.
