The Model A was built to replicate a truck that my brother-in-law and his buddy drove from Boston to Los Angeles back in the 40's or early 50's. My sister gave me a B&W photo to use as reference along with some comments she had overheard regarding color, etc. After my brother-in-law died she gave the model back to me. It was built stock except for the '32 V8 wheels and the lettering on the doors to match the 1:1.

Both of these builds are over 35 years old.

I worked at a Dodge dealer when the Little Red Express was introduced. We had a blast "test-driving" them before they were delivered to their new owners (minus a few miles of rubber from the back tires!). I built this one box-stock except for the chains on the tailgate.

Very nice builds! The Model A looks good with 32 wheels. The Dodge is cool, too! I worked at a Dodge dealership in 1983, and "test drove" a couple Shelby Chargers. They were great handling little cars!
