Reply to "Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them"

Here are some I've collected in the past and worked over.

The 1955 Rolls by Verem and more recent '54 Jaguar were repainted and detailed to match specific autos for that scene.

The NY City Transit Authority bus by Corgi carries the early 1950's livery with Staten Island route and destination signs.  A driver resembling Ralph Cramden of 'The Honeymooners" is behind the wheel.

A 1954 Mercury convertible model from a South American manufacturer hauls a scratch built famed 'New Moon' trailer. I could not find a '53 Merc like the one used in the movie, but a '54  was close enough for me.

The 'buck tooth' Buick hard top was a rare find, the Studebaker with the 'aero-nose' was easier. Both were often seen when I was a teen. 

Sometime back,  the VW camper was often seen.  Here it's at the beach beside the B&NY main line.

The movie "The Yellow Rolls Royce" fascinated me, but I could not locate a '31 Rolls phantom saloon. So a '29 Lancia limousine filled in for it, refinished in classic Rolls yellow and black.  The green Hudson Hornet was a train show find.
