1955 Toyopet Crown Lowrider

[Erik Smith]

What do you do when you just have to paint something? Why, break out that Toyopet model you have!

This is a quick little curbside kit. The body looks like a little Buick to me, so I masked off and started painting.

Duplicolor Pure White and Light Champagne (left over from 62 Chevy build)

Wheels from 64 Prince Super 6

Kimono interior!

Trying to get this built - started on Monday, so I am racing along....

Oh, corrected the topic spelling.

Harry - the kit is from Arii - 1/32 "Owners Club"

Is it just me, or would a grille like that look great on a '49 Ford? That Toyopet is a charming design- almost like a 1/8 scale Buick. I like...

The older cars in the Arii Owners Club series are from LS Japan, Im not sure if the newer cars like the R32 Skyline and RX-7 FD3S are new tools from Arii or last of the one from LS Japan.

Interesting subject and a nice color scheme. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Love it! Man, I HAVE to get one of these kits; I love the old obscure imports.
