4 door Tri Chevys ?

[57peppershaker]

Does anybody still produce a resin 4 door sedan Tri Chevy ?

[Bill J]

There was at least one made by Modelhaus. Unfortunately, they retired last year and are not longer making anything to sell. No one has taken over their business either I am not aware of any other tri-5 Chevy 4-doors, there may be someone else who may know.

Checked around and found a 55, 56 and possibly a 57. http://resinrealm.net/

I suspect the above are Hendrix pieces, but here's a separate list of Hendrix kits containing three Tri-Five Chevy kits:

Thanks Gents.

A friend has just ordered a 55 to replicate his 1:1

Maybe it was Modelhaus but im sure ive seen a 57 4 door based on the Revell issue ?

[Bill J]

Modelhaus used to make one that was a 150 model. Star Models lists one as a 210 which is a middle model between the 150 and the Belair. I once owned a 210 2-door hardtop and I liked it better than a Belair. The 210 has the same side trim as a Belair without the aluminum insert on the quarter panel. A 210 also has short chrome caps on the fins like the 15o. Both the 150 and 210 have silver grilles instead of the gold on the Belair.

I sent an email to Star Models a few days ago inquiring about a body but have yet to receive a reply. Here is their 210 4-door sedan http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/STAR%20Models/57_Chevy_210_4dr_Sed.html

I guess it was the Modelhaus 1 im thinking of Bill. I'll try a wanted ad

I know all about 1:1 210's........ this is mine

Your 210 is a real beauty Steve! Great looking car. Hard to beat a 57 Chevy for a classic ride.

BTW, thanks for starting the thread. While I was looking for a 4-door for you I came across a 57 Sport Sedan 4-door and managed to order it. That was one I always liked and wanted to build. Now, if I could decide on a color....

What is the source for the 1957 BelAir Sport Sedan?  Thanks.

 

[Bill J]

Apparently, I was lucky, the 4 door Sport Sedan is out of production and I got the last one available.

[RomanII]

It would help to know the manufacturer.  Perhaps I can find one in the secondary market if I know who made it.  

Also, any chance the same supplier offers a 1956 Sport Sedan?

David, you might want to check here for a '57 four door hardtop. I don't know if he's still making them------you'd have to give him a call to see. Steve's a nice guy and gives great service. He has a '56 listed, but it's a four door sedan and not a hardtop.

Hope this helps!

Steve is a stellar businessman .. Thanx ..

thanks Bill. its had a full resto with a lot of mods

hey great news on the sport sedan.  colour... hmmmmmmm. junior stock..........

[Bill J]

Steve, I am thinking all Harbor Blue. Second choice is Sierra Gold with a white top. I was going to paint a 150 two door with the blue, so if I do the blue on the Sport sedan, I will have to pick a color for the 150. Too many decisions

[57peppershaker]

I had a 4 door Sierra / india ivory car for my wedding way back. Great combo

A 150 4 door (if I find 1) will just have to be a black n white Cop car

[Bill J]

I had considered ordering a 150 4 door from Modelhaus on a number of occasions. Then it was too late and I forever missed out. I guess if a person was good at scribing door lines and moving "B" pillars, you could make a 4 door from the Black Widow 150. I only wanted one because it was different, but I would be content with a 210. Definitely one of my favorite 56 & 57's has been the Sport Sedan. Lucky to have caught one of the resins.

I believe the '56 4 door hardtop was done by F&F Resins,  Ed Fluck.  He died a while back and his son Eddie was doing some of his old favorites.  I don't know the current status.

Also in ancient history,  All American Models, Art Anderson did a ;55 Chevy 4 door sedan.

T.M. Resins lists one of those pretty regularly on eBay. In fact there's one here now. I'm not sure if it's a repop of Art's model or such but each time he lists new items, this is among them.
