[Chris White]

Nice work Rich, up to your usual standards of excellence !!!

[Lovefordgalaxie]

WOW, this is nothing short of an art work!!!

I would love to build one, as foiling is really a thing I enjoy doing.

The colors alone are screaming 1957.

[TooOld]

She's a real beauty Rich , looks like you've got the foiling figured out !

You're gonna have to get more storage space for all these builds you're knocking out !

[Sixties Sam]

Another 50's beauty, Rich! Love the fins and chrome! We had a 57 Dodge wagon when I was a kid. It was big!

Thank you all so much guys.

Bob, you're right, I do need more display cabinets as I am running out of room. I've been looking at some stuff online at IKEA.

[Dominik]

Outstanding car. You did a good job on it. A lot of BMF-work...amazing.

Only the colors are not my taste.

[Jeremy Jon]

Great workmanship, the BMF looks fantastic, Nicely done!!

[Ramfins59]

Thanks guys.

Dominik, I know that a lot of the 2 Tone color combinations on the 1950's cars did not appeal to everyone. The manufacturers did get a little creative with the colors, especially Chrysler Corp.

The good part is that you are varying the colors on your 50s collection. It will be representative of the era. Personally, I tend to see cars in the same colors over and over so I have to watch myself!

Beautiful model . . . odd color combination but it somehow works.

It's close to a factory combo...

It's close to a factory combo...

The factory yellow seems to be lighter/softer, less of a bileous green-yellow that the Model Master paint appears to be..

I think Rich's photos may be a bit off as far as color balance. Actually a lot off..

Still not a factory color scheme, but in the spirit of one...

[Harry P.]

This is probably a lot closer to reality...

Beautiful build. Nice and clean. Great job!

Harry, that's why I painted the 1958 Dodge that I built earlier in Black and Yellow colors...

[Harry P.]

Nice!

[gwolf]

I love the looks of any late 50's Dodge. Superb work!

[Ramfins59]

Thank you Greg. I appreciatr your kind words.

[Dodge Driver]

Wow, Rich! These are some great looking Dodges! I resurrected this post since we were talking late fifties Chrysler products.

[Geno]

Wow, that looks great Richard. i love those '50's Mopars.

[D. Battista]

This looks great....!   Beautiful job...!       Keep diggin' 'em up guys......

[RAMBENNA]

fabulous great job 

 

 

 

[MrObsessive]

Wow! How'd I miss this one?? Beautiful job Rich!

There was nothing like late '50's Mopar styling, and I sure wish I could have snagged one of these when The Modelhaus was making 'em. Who knows...........I've got a '59 Dodge body that I could backdate into a '57. Personally I like 'em better without those "sharks teeth" in the bumper though.

[Hubert Rollins]

Nice- interesting colors.
