1960 Ranchero - Flower Car

[donb]

This is a curbside, Built for NNL East a couple years ago for sub-theme of "Service Cars". This is a funeral flower car. I added a little humor to it with decals. Check out the decals (Please keep in mind this was meant to be humorous). Was a fun build and l kind of grinned to myself when it was done. It came out better than expected too. Wheels, Tire and Hub caps are from Modelhaus. Paint is Duplicolor black and I just don't recall who I had make the decals.

Can you imagine following this flower car? Nope!

Nice build, and back-in-the-day I remember flower cars as being Cadillac's.

Do they use a Vega hatch back for a hearse?

Nice work by the way!

I like it a lot and the decals got me grinning! The wheels and tyres are perfect - the Modelhaus will be widely missed.

Turned out very well. I just started on the AMT 60 Ranchero myself, it definitely calls for different tires and wheels.

I feel like I saw this in a magazine awhile back and liked it, thanks for posting, the one picture in the magazine left me wanting to see more. Great job on what looks like a fun model to build.
