Got your attention huh? This one is one of my "builds" of my favorite car of the 1950s, the '57 Ford. The only detail, is that it was built from a Revell kit, and is in 1/25 scale!! Painted her in Inca Gold, and that is a difficult color to take pictures of...

Neat! I prefer it in black. Still looking for a nice real one that I can afford.

WOW, son...
you've got skills as the kids say these days!
I've had many of the models shown in your slide show, but not built with the realism of yours!
about the only way to make spark plug wires in my day was to use some of Mom's sewing thread and it wasn't very realistic.
thank you for sharing!

If you hadn’t said this was a model, I would have simply thought that ’57 Tudor was the real thing. Being turned on its side to see the underside though would have been a clue that something was amiss though. That is some great attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.

In black you said? Does it has to be a Custom Tudor?

Thank you a lot folks!! Really love them '57 Fords. FORD some reason I always thought this car to have perfect body lines, no matter the version.
I have this ongoing project, of building one in each color Ford offered them in 1957.
Here is the "Gunmetal Gray" version, that I built with a "used car" underside:
