1957 Chevrolet daily driver in 1977.

[Lovefordgalaxie]

The car is a Monogram '57 Chevy in 1:12 scale. 

Inspired by some old pictures of cars during the 70's, I added a period licence plate to the car, and used the photoshop to mess with the color balance to emulate the pictures I found.

Hope you like it.

Wow Tulio.That paint is perfect, as is the execution of the model. Nice to see you building a Chevy for a change. You do some seriously incredible work Tulio. Always a pleasure to view your builds.

Very nice looking Chevy Tulio.

Really nice driver Tulio. As usual, well done!

[Harry P.]

Beautiful work. Love the dealer tag on the trunk!

[rmvw guy]

Nice job as always Tulio.  I was going to mention the neat dealer tag on the rear but, guess who beat me to it?  Have to agree with Harry.  I might mention the cool reflection of a giant hand  showing the degree of shine on the beautiful finish.

Yet another beautiful build Tulio!!

Beautiful work. Love the dealer tag on the trunk!

Funny I work in the auto repair business in Columbus and we deal with Hugh White  on a regular basis.

Thank you guys!!

Call me crazy, but I would buy in a heartbeat a photo-etch set dealer tags, for all scales. 

All my 1:1 cars have them. Most new cars back in the day had some sort of dealer ID, a badge or even a window sticker. 

Friend of mine has a 1:1 1957 Bel Air, a four door hardtop in black, and is from that car that I copied the dealer tag. It's unusual a car to have a foreign dealer tag, but his Chevy came into the country in 1960 with his first owner, that was moving here from the U.S. Also know a 1955 Chev with a "Curry Chevrolet" badge on the rear.

Another in a string of Excellent Builds Tulio, and your Paint always comes out like Colored Mercury.

Looks great!

Great looking model, as usual, Tulio, but, you have been showing us a lot of Chevys lately! You're not switching sides on us, are you?!!

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Thanks again gentlemen.

Don't worry, still and forever a Ford guy.

As a matter of fact, I'm building a 1957 Ford right now. Also at the same time I'm building a '57 Chevy Cameo, but believe-me, The Ford will have more detail!!

Doing a WIP on my youtube channel:
