How about this? Real or model?

The answer: REAL!

[Guest promodmerc]

This is a tough one. I'm going to study it a bit before I answer. The bumper is what is throwing me off.

Hmmm weird? It reads like a model but the parts say real. The name plate looks small...OK Harry you got me. I don't usually blow them up in PhotoShop so I'm going with...The REAL DEAL.

A convertable eh? Don't recall ever seeing one of those. Got to go real. The glass and the eggcrate grill look very real to me. The only problem that I have is the picture looks distorted. It looks like it has been narrowed. It doesn't look wide enough for a car of that era, but that could be lens distortion. Don't know for sure. Just a plan WAG. Good pick Harry!

I think my winning streak (in real or model anyway) may come to an end this week! I usually get a visual cue in the pics, but this one makes it tough!

[JamesW]

I'm going against the majority and saying model.

[gbdolfans]

Looks a little narrow ????

[Zhu]

I've gone with real.

[Jim Gibbons]

Wow, this is a tough one. My first impression was model, but after looking at it, I have to agree with the polarized glass statement, and the fact that it appears to me that the steering wheel (it might be a "ghost" image from the glass pattern, though) is on the right hand side, makes me think this was an export car photographed from a museum collection.

Real

[Joe Handley]

I'm going real here too, looks like it should be a die cast, but just looks too good to be one at the same time...........

[bill w]

I have to say model, the gap between the hood and the fenders looks too big,

and the top looks like a model.

no valve stems on the tires.........

[dimaxion]

The color looks like real to me . The front splash plan and the spinner part of the grille look right for a 1950 . My Father owned a 1950 4 dr. My first girlfriend and I used to sit under the front grille gaurd and swing our feet hanging down from "the seat" . Thanx Harry ..

Well, I agree that the gaps in the hood fit don't look right, the top doesn't fit right, the rearview mirrors look very small and the chrome looks too shiny. Therefore, it's real.

(Hey, it's 1950s Detroit Iron.)
