RodBurNeR Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 That's a good price, I like it a lot more than the Starliner Coupe body. I know the cast is nice because I know your work and Ed's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 that body looks really excellent. i hate to look dumb but what exactly are the differences between the kit body and this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott H. Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) that body looks really excellent. I hate to look dumb but what exactly are the differences between the kit body and this one? This was taken from here: Popular Mechanics ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There were two versions of the Loewy coupe. First there was the Starlight, which had B-pillars and carried the internal designation "C model." Then there was the Starliner, which had no pillars and carried the "K model" designation. Except for the B-pillars, the cars were identical. Both versions rode on the Landcruiser's 120.5-in. wheelbase, in both the Champion and Commander series. Champion coupes were powered by the 85-hp inline Six, while Commanders came standard with the hotter 120-hp 232-cu.-in. V8. (See Reader's Rides for a prime example of a restored Starliner Commander.) In '53, Starlight and Starliner coupes really stood out against the chrome dream machines that Detroit set loose on the streets. Both were continued into '54 largely unchanged save for a new egg crate grille. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hope this helps answer your question, -Scott H.

Chuck Most Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Now I feel stupid for trying to scratch up my own window surrounds for the Starliner! $25 will save me a lot of hassle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshaver Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Cary , you're not going to go wrong with anything Ken does . Ive seen too much of his casting at the shows . He is a model builder and Ive seen the metal he carries home too. His wife and he are very astute business people and I vouch for the pair !
