1957 Ford Custom 300 Fire Chief's Car

[Jim B]

Here is my completed 1957 Ford Custom 300 Fire Chief's car.

I think it came out nicely (if I do say so myself).  Is it a contest winner?  No.  Are there things I would do differently if I build this car again?  Yes, but overall I'm pleased with the results.

I was hoping you would post it over here, I can comment here, 1 item it needs is a nice old big whip antenna, you got the radio in it,

A really good looking model. Wonderfully done...

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate the comments.

Greg, maybe I'll put a whip antenna on the next one.  It's going to be a 1949 Mercury Club Coupe made into "Sheriff" from Cars, but without the eyes!

All it needs now is a Fire Chief! Outstanding build.

Thanks, Alan.  If I could find a decent 1/25 scale firefighter of the correct era, I might be tempted!
