1951 GM LeSABRE MOTORAMA showcar

[odie]

I Have always love the motorama show cars since my dad took me to see them when I was a kid    This model shows the LeSabre in its later form, they redid it in I think 1955 or 1956    .This model started out as a plastic toy  ... I found that it was close to 1/18 scale   and by adding the sabre wheels ,seats etc. from a diecast   Cadillac,painting it with my airbrush with a mix close to the color of the real car  .....Let me know what you think    I am sure that Harley Earl would love it.   Ralph

Whoa. I've always loved that rocketship design, and have thought long and hard about trying to build it.

You've done a great job here. Nice work.

Great job!! If you put it next to other GM models from the 50's you can see how many of the styling ques actually made it into production!

Great build and work

[Speedfreak]

Cool car Ralph, I've never seen this before, thanks for sharing!

[odie]

Thanks all    Yes as Craig states   GM  used a lot of styling ideas from this car   and when I converted the toy version  I found that the 57 Cad parts helped me to covert it into a fairly convincing model   Ralph
