Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) I don't have pics. of all my classic car projects at this time but I thought you all might like to see what I have planned. Monogram's '27 Bugatti Type 35B in Tamiya sprays French Blue. This one is working it's way through the paint shop. Heller's Bugatti Type 50 coupe in Tamiya sprays red over black. This one is ready to build. Edited March 12, 2008 by Mr. Can Am Garage
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Monogram's Packard Speedster Phaeton. Gunship grey body over a red chassis/under sides of the fenders. Italeri's Chrysler Imperial LeBaron Dual Cowl Phaeton in ivory over brown with orange trim and wheels.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Monogram's '31 Rolls Royce Phaeton. Silver over Burgandy. This one is a current paint shop project and looks much better now than it did when this pics. was taken. Italeri's '33 Cadillac Model 452C V16 Fleetwood All Weather Phaeton. A replica of the Al Jolson car. Italeri multi piece bodies can be challenging to say the least.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Monogram's '34 Duesenberg J Town Car by Murphy. J conversion is a long out of production All American Models piece. Colour scheme undecided. Monogram '34 Duesenberg SJ Convertible Coupe by Rollston. This is a short wheelbase conversion done by me. Paint will prolly be racing white over green fenders. Monogram '34 Duesenberg SJ Torpedo Phaeton by Weymann Legrande. Paint is Chevy Butternut Yellow over Tamiya sprays Maroon. I was inspired to copy this scheme after seeing it on a Franklin Mint Packard.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Monogram's '41 Lincoln in Tamiya sprays French Blue. It will have a dark blue convertible top and it's based on a pic. from a 1:1 car magazine (Automobile magazine IIRC).
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Heller's '31 Delage D.8SS body by Fernandez & Darin. Paint scheme has been decided but I'm not telling yet. Italeri's '36 MB 540K cabriolet. My references say it's closer to a 500K though. I just had to have an opening hood on this one.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Lindberg's '29 Mercedes Benz SSK roadster.
Robert81 Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Wow you have quit the collection going. If half my projects made it to paint, I would be happy. 99% of my builds get to the point where they need paint on the body then get box, until spring or summer, when I can paint outside. In most cases I get busy with other projects and forget about the others. I still have projects from ten years ago, that still need paint.
Junkman Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 This is unbelievably nice. There aren't may who are into classics like you are. I really wonder what colour(s) the Delage is going to be.
Raul_Perez Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I agree with Robert, that's a really nice collection of classics you've got going there!!
Paul Payne Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Great collection, and even better paint! When you're done with yours would you paint some of mine?!?!?!.....
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 This is unbelievably nice. There aren't may who are into classics like you are. I really wonder what colour(s) the Delage is going to be. Because you asked so nicely, I'll share. The Delage is going to be Tamiya Sprays Lavender over Black. That should turn a few heads.
Gray Smith Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Nice collection John, I esp like the Italeri Chrysler Imperial... All look good though, good luck with finishing them all Gray
FactoryStock54 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Very impressive collection! Great range of subjects (WOW!!! A DELAGE!!!! Never knew one of those had been kitted!) and interesting color choices, well executed! I have many of those same kits in my stash, including the Duesenberg Town Car and Torpedo as well as the 41 Lincoln (I seem to keep losing Ebay autions for the Bugati!) and this brings back a lot of very fond memories from growing up back in the 60s and 70s! I very much look forward to seeing your progress on these builds!
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 This one is so new to the shop that it's still on the flatbed. Johan's '34 Mercedes Benz Coupe

This one is ready to build. looks like fun keep us posted on the 35 b it's one of my favorite cars.where do you find the colors for these older cars cuz i'd build more if I knew what they are suppposed to look like because they look pretty decent right out of the box but with a little extra look out. I have a thomas flyer waiting in the wings i just have to decide which leg of the race i want to build.
robertw Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I'm looking forward to see many of these classics finished. After having finished the Italeri '33 Chrysler before Xmas I've developed a desire to build a few more of them. Rob W

unclescott58 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Did any of the above cars get finished? And are the end results here? I'd love to see how they all turned out. Scott

Scott If you click his screen name and go to his home page. Then click on "See Their Activity". Mr. Can-Am has about 29 pages of posts. His roll-off build might be there as well. These are what I found of his classics. Just beautiful work ... all of it: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/26308-1934-mercedes-benz-500k-ssr-body-by-sindelfelden/ Edited February 19, 2017 by tedd60
