New for 1953

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Going to a car dealer today just gets me bored, but, it was way different in 1953.

Ford and Chevrolet were doing battle, with ads bashing each other. Me? I got both!!

The Bel Air looks bigger, and taller, but that is because the Revell kit is 1:24 scale, and the Crestline by Lindberg is 1:25 scale.

Thanks gentlemen!! 

[bbowser]

Your black paint work is stunning.  Really cool to see the differences and similarities between the two makes.

[BeakDoc]

They are very easy on the eyes and your builds certainly captured the graceful styling of each.

Yes, the cars were similar. Both were designed to appeal to the very same buyer.

Great idea showing 2 brands from the same year. Gives a good visual of what buyers had to choose from back in 53.

I kinda like the Ford design better, it looks a little sleeker than the Chevy. And I like Chevy's!

[T.Henry]

I really love them both. The Chevy looks kind of square, but that is the kit's fault. They molded the body in a way the car looks like a brick.

Giving serious thought about painting my Sunliner black.

Would you consider casting some hubcaps for me?? Like the ones on your Sunliner??

 

[Janne Herajärvi]

Both look great! That Chevy is maybe best one i have seen built from that kit, atleast one of best ones!

Drop me a line on Telegram with your address, and I'll send  them to you. I did cast some spare hubcaps.

Two gorgeous models, Tulio!!!  Displayed together is just cool!!!?????????

[mrmike]

Both look great!  Back in the day, my father had a '53 Ford convertible and my uncle had a '53 Chevy convertible and both were the same color combo.  Red body with a red interior and a black top.

These are stunning. Really beautiful.
