Bill Coulter's '59 Ford

[Lyle Willits]

First, if you don't know who Bill Coulter is, you've either just entered this hobby last week, you are VERY young or you've been in a coma for 40 years. Bill is a true icon in the model car hobby, having written several books, countless magazine articles and was one of the movers and shakers responsible for the rebirth of the hobby in the very late 70's and early 80's.

Sometimes Bill sends me pics of his latest builds, but,as of yet, he doesn't have a photo hosting site. He gave me permission to plant these on the board for your enjoyment. THANKS BILL!

Bill's Indian Turquoise and Classic White '59 Ford is an excellent resin kit from Tom Coolidge. The lakes pipes are from Bob Dudek and the cool '56 Mercury flipper caps are from The Modelhaus.

Parts By Parks provided the exhaust tips and the outside mirror on the driver's side.

How cool are these ???? Paul from PSF Hobbies has the Gibson Les Paul guitar, the case and the Fender amplifier, all in 1/25th scale resin. Bill painted and detailed those items to match his real Les Paul and amp.

THANKS BILL!!!!

Wow, talk about surgically clean and precise! That's beautiful. Those guitars from PSF are neat, aren't they? I did an Eric Clapton Gibson for my Magnum. The case, amp and cord look fantastic, too. Way cool, Bill!

I've read so many articles by Bill, I can't even begin to tell what i've learned...he has been a true asset to the hobby and its good to know hes still going strong...while I don't do/know much in the way of 50's cars I can recognize excellent building when I see it... also the guitar, amp, and case look quite good too(and cool since my brother has a very similar combo)..keep up the great work Bill!

Wow! I absolutely love this! I remember Bill's articles in the original Scale Auto Enthusiast in the early '80s. Was just looking the other day at the one from, what 1980 or so, on building the Johan '60 Dodge Dart. Great stuff then and now.
