Wally, would you drive this?

I heart that so much.
In reply to Duke :
Based mostly on the size of the metalic in the paint work I am pretty sure it is 1/24 scale Tamiya with a wheel swap.

I'm thinking Hotwheels Volvo with a wheel swap and a brown repaint.
In reply to Appleseed :
You got it right, the wheel arches and headlamps give it away. I was't aware of the Hot Wheels, I pay very little attention to die cast ready builts
In reply to TurnerX19 :
Looked a little too clunky in the details to be 1/24th. But thanks!
[edit]
I really didn't need to see this. Luckily it doesn't come in my color / trim:
Oh, wholly carp.

Oh, I know - the one I linked is from a weird Chinese model company that makes all kinds of esoteric vehicles.
An incredibly powerful image if you ask me.
This is the first time since the Civil War that troops have bivouacked in the Capitol building. On the right is a plaque commemorating the troops that responded to Lincoln's call and stayed in the Capitol at the opening of the Civil War.

Famous #722:
This this is a chore to drive, slow, doesn't stop well, has zero safety, no air, questionable heat, parts are tricky, mileage isn't good, it weighs more than your house, and myriad other reasons I'd never own it.... but it sure cleans up and photographs nice.
In reply to barefootskater (Shaun) :
Very nice! The visor on yours is very cool, and rare (my father had a visor on his '51 2-door Pontiac), except on a Kaiser it hides one of the main styling cues: the gorgeous shape of the early single-piece windshield. But no matter, that's a fantastic classic vehicle. Lucky man!
In reply to Gary :
This is a 51 with a two piece windshield. Same shape though. The color is a bad respray but appears close to the original. I detailed it today so the professional can come take pictures for the ad. We'll see what it's worth pretty soon I think.
