*Best Looking Car/Truck Model You've Seen*

[Zippi]

I was browsing the ole interweb for model car show video's and saw this 5 window coupe (maybe a 37 Chevy).  I just thought it was a fantastic looking model and the color just pops on the car.  I had a 37 Ford pickup street rod 1:1 so I'm real parcel to the mid to late 30's fat fender cars and truck.  What have you spotted that just really caught your eye.

Way too many to list, because just when you thought you have found the ultimate, something else comes along.

Augie Hiscano's XK-R (r stands for rod) blue roadster was my inspiration to build better models.

I'm a big fan of this build..... It's Mr. Guthmiller's Coronet. I hope he doesn't mind if I post a pic of it. I like everything about it....

Thanks.

I appreciate that.

But I'm going to say that there are lots of better candidates out there.

Yes, too many to list.  Besides, why do people always come up with "most favorite" or "best" questions?

What is my favorite color?  Rainbow!  (I like all colors).  I also don't have top favorite of anything.  I like too many things to point any single thing out.  Maybe it is just how my brain is wired compared to the others who ask questions like that?

Um wait, I do have a single favorite thing:  The BSI brand CA glue accelerator!  But it is not a subjective choice (like a color or a best model). It is the only one I use because it has low odor, it doesn't seem to be as aggressive as other brands, and it does not attack plastic or paint.

John MacGowan's Willys pickup comes to mind. Steve Catron's belly tanker, too.

For me it is the Ala Kart built by a friend and fellow builder Harold Perry AKA 38 Crush , here in Oregon, Unfortunately I can't any pictures of it.

Anything Bill Stillwagon is always good....... I really like his style. He has a Fotki with a bunch of models on it. Here's one example.......

Doug Whyte's '53 Studebaker from around 1990.....TIM 

[Venom]

Steve Guthmiller’s ‘61 Ford, which I just saw for the first time today on this forum thanks to another post.

This car is so sweet to look at, and like all of Steve’s builds... exquisitely clean... impeccable build!

[Zippi]

That is nice.  Love that color and all the detail.

[Paul Payne]

Tim, I agree with you about Doug Whyte's Studebaker- saw it in person at NNL East and it is jaw dropping! 

[BlackSheep214]

Well now, that's like picking one over the other; even your own builds. Don't get me wrong, there are countless fantastic builds on here, in other forums, and model shows. How can you easily pick one? It's impossible amongst thousands of kits.

Here’s two photos of Doug’s Studebaker as it sits in the International Model Car Builders Museum. I took the photos GSL week in 2005.

I view it as something that’s most likely temporary... One day you see something that you realize is the best you’ve seen since you can remember with the understanding that one day you will likely see something even better, or more likely, as with me, your taste might simply change. However, some things can meet a certain criteria that promise its likeliness to stand the test of time. You might find/see something you like more eventually, but in going back and reviewing what you once thought was the “best”, you’re still taken in by it because it is so well done that it retains the fascination factor that it deserves.

What I find interesting and strange is when you see another person’s opinion of the “best” whatever and you think it’s a lousy choice. The first time I remember having that thought was during my early teens and seeing some of the girls my friends thought were hot.
