In 2014, I found this picture of a ´37 Ford Sedan in an older issue of Rod & Custom Magazine:

It inspired me to build my Monogram sedan in that style. I couldn´t find any more photos or information about the car, so I added a few personal touches.

Like the original it was lowered, shaved, nosed and sits on 19“ custom rims (Pegasus „Daggers“ in this case). A chrome trim bar was added to the smoothed and molded running boards, the rear view mirror was found in my parts box. Exhaust tips were made from copper tubing and I frenched a scratch built license plate into the deck lid. I used the dash board of Revell´s ´37 Roadster and flocked the Interior. Just a little gag: on the front passenger side seat you can find the original Monogram kit box and the issue of R&C in which I found the picture of the sedan:

Hope you like it, thanks for looking

Thanks, Jason. I imagined that the owner of the original sedan had the same idea as I had. He saw a picture of his own car in a magazine and wants to build it as a model car, so he bought the Monogram kit :D
