Harry P. Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Remember... if you know the answer (if you know the source of the photo), do NOT tell us! That ruins the game for everyone else! The answer: REAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think it's a very beautiful model of a fantastic car, especially with the Halibrands and that injector set-up. There's just a few little details that don't quite look real. I wouldn't be too surprised if I was wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hmm. This is a tough one. But I'll go with real because the windshield frame looks less klunky than most models and the tires appear to be bearing some weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Very nice model Rear tire tread, no valve stems But those headlamp buckets and rear bucket weld wow Toughie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think its a model but with Harry it might be real... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The frame horns are not boxed. I've never seen a model with that level of detail. But the lack of valve stems has me scratching my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm guessing it's a very well done model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timc Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I say model but a large scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Club Cobra website has an interesting discussion on Halibrand vs. Trigos wheels - I quote: 'Rod-will the valve stems be inside the web like Trigo or outside like Halibrand? Does that mean what I think it does? Never heard of this idea before but it would explain why the valves aren't visible on the outside! Trigo is apparently a Halibrand lookalike wheel. I still think it's a model though. Edited January 27, 2014 by DonW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Probably wrong, but my gut says very well done model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) It's real as can be driven. 100% sure. It's a model because it's fake, it's just something made to resemble the original car made in 1932.

customsrus Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ok its either a real model or a model of a real car, that should just about cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
