Chrysler 300C Phantom

I built this in the custom section, but thought I'd post it here as it's finished... Just the antenna and a couple of things to stick on. Its the Chrysler 300C built as an upscale camino-esque luxo car for residents of Riverside Drive.

Comments critiques welcome.

Beautiful. It's a very believable car that could have been

Nice looking build.

Very nice model! It looks like Chrysler actually made it. The wood strips on the bed cover are a nice touch.

I love when folks modify kits like this, I think this is what the hobby's all about. Especially when it's as well done as yours.

Would that rear cover be operated like a trunk lid? If so, would it be hinged at the front or rear? Also, could it be removed for larger cargo? Did you think about putting a couple of tie-down cleats on top of each of the rear quarters? Those wood strips just seem to beg to have a load placed on them!

I know, they may be silly questions, but I usually find myself thinking of things like this as I plan a project like this.

Your design is most impressive and very believeable!

Thanks,

David G.

Thanks for your kind words guys. Dave, in answer to your queries, I had originally planned to have it with a rear side opening gate and outline where the whole lid would lift aka a fibreglas cover. When I actually started doing it, I faced the reality that doing so neatly was probably beyond my skill level. The more I proceeded with the build and the wood strips came to mind, the more I just decided it could be a piece of wasteful 2 door coupe opulence owned by the well-to-do with no more functionality than using it for sunny day drives. Actually another modeler suggested it could be a funeral flower car -- an even better idea! Glad you like it!

That is one beautiful Chrysler 300C and you did a great job of making it look like it could have been a resl one......
