i dont know why but i went with model

[dimaxion]

The old modelers solution of painting the entire chassis ect. gave it away for me . Is this the original Jo Han Polara body . I am looking to get two converteble and one hardtop of these . Any help ? Thanx..

[BigJoe23]

I vote real, I'm looking at the front license plate on the bumper and it looks too thin to be a model.

[Ryan S.]

That there is the real deal, yes sir.

[Roger U]

I'll say real. As others have said some of the small details look too good to be for a model and, I also think almost any modeller would have put bigger wheels and tires in the rear?

[mountaindewd]

Hmmmmmm, Harry must be tired from the holidays!

No kidding, even if it only had a warmed over 383 and loud mufflers, I would have stuck more tire on the back of it!

Hi....im going to have to say its a model,but at first glance i wanted to say real....the reason for saying model is the tires arent squiched from the weight of the car.....thats the only reason though. very nice!!!

I think it's real, the tires may just be overinflated... !

I'm going with real... check out the weatherstrip in the wing-vent windows- I don't see how ANYBODY could replicate that as well as it looks in the photo. Then again, I'm a ham-fisted, semitalented hack, so what the hey-all do I know!?

[voljeepx]

Real, but I don't know why. It just doesn't look like a model or diecast.

[Greg Cullinan]

I vote real.I see front tire down with weight and the rivet on outside corner of front bumper that makes me think it's too much unnoticed detail for a model.Thanks

Well, I did fool a lot of you... but it's REAL!

[george 53]

Yo Mike-O, WE'S ROLLIN big time! See I told ya's it was real!!!! Look under the rear quarter, you can just barely make out the leaf spring behind the tire. If it's a model that spring woulda had to been Photo Etched! . Plus the drille was just tooo real lookin ta me.

Yup! That was the first clue to me that this was real. Not to mention the weatherstripping/window channeling and the headliner........something that most modelers don't include when making a replica stock.

[Joe Handley]

Found this by accident on Monday after voting.

That's what kind of tipped me off.... sheesh, not even Bill goes to that level of detail! Well, not on the wing window weatherstripping, anyway!

Yepper we sho did this week!!!

and when I followed that link.....Harry didn't photoshop it.....somebody else did!!

[Ddms]

Real or model, Harry did a heckuva Photoshop job on the shadow and reflection. (It's obvious that the shadow is computer generated, but it's still beautifully done.) I give it a very uneasy "real car" vote, mainly because the hood scoop material is so thin.

I followed that link, too. Interesting that the car in the original photo didn't have an antenna.

Why did you put that in there, Harry?

I didn't do anything to the photo... I posted exactly what I found.
