Pontiac Club de Mer 1956

[caapa]

The Pontiac Club de Mer was built for the 1956 GM Motorama. The body was made of aluminium, a Pontiac V8 engine worked with a transaxle transmission and has been driven extensively for different tests. A ¼ scale model was paralell built and this exists today while the car was scrapped in 1958.

The model was built from a Revell kit. I completed the model with inside wheelhouses made from plastic cafecups. The paint job is light blue metalic, the interior and inside of wheel arches vermilion.

Nice job! I love that blue. It's always hard for me to believe that something this sleek came out of the fifties.

P.S. Is it just me, or does this car look a little like a mustachioed shark?

Very nice. Are opening doors featured in the kit? Where did you get the tires?

Sharp!!

I built the old Futura kit last winter and enjoyed the challenge so much that I dug this kit out for building this winter. After looking at it and doing some dry fitting I realized what a challenge it will be to turn it into a presentable model so I am doubly impressed by the excellent job that you have done.

The openable doors are made by me. The kit was with closed doors and the wheels are from kit .

oh! That Pontiac looks realy fine! Well done Ervin, also the opening doors! Looks like it was in the kit.

Now, you give me a kick to build my Club de Mer - looks fabulous. Thank you for sharing!
