LINDBERG Ford 1953

[happy grumpy]

Another ford 53, I wanted to re create a model that a neighbor had back in the 60's. I tried to reproduce the color as I remembered it. I took a picture as reference. Not quite exact but that's the closest I could get with the colors I had. Tamiya acrylics for the body, TS 7 racing white for the top. I like those colors from the 50's.

I have a soft spot for the 50's and 60's styling.

thanks for looking and commenting.

Nice 53 Ford Mario.  Love that color.  I really like that body style.

Looks ready to sell! Great color for that body, and another really nice stock build for your ever-growing collection!

We have a bing-go, especially those drivers side shots!

Well done!  I've always liked that body style, and the colors suite it well.

What is the outside color? It looks perfect for that era as though it were a stock paint choice in 1953.

I have one of those to build. My dad had a 54 convertible that has a number stories associated with it. (Including a scar it gave me that took 20 years to fade away)

Very nice! The color looks perfectly suited to the lines of the Ford.

Beautiful looking showroom style build. The paint looks great, and the color looks much as I recall. This was a time when the companies started offering some bright colors on the new cars and this was a popular combination at the time.

And yet another great looking build from you  Mario.  Excellent work?

The official name was vermilion. I mixed red , orange and white. Not exact but close enough to what I remembered.
