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

We have 2 layouts. One is in a 12’ x 16’ shed. The other is a 4’ x4’ old style 027 layout in our front room. I have a few vehicles on each layout. One of these cars is a model of my first car (which had been my dad’s). It was a 1950 Cadillac convertible. I found a toy Cadillac hard top in the wrong color at our CVS pharmacy. Not only was it the wrong color, but it was marked underneath as a 1953 model. But it was close enough. I painted it blue like my Caddy was, and made the top look like a “rag top.”  Then I found another Caddy model which was also the wrong color and a hard top. I cut the top off and made it look like my Caddy with the top down and painted it blue. One stays on the train shed layout, and the other one stays on the small 027 layout in the front room. In the photos the light makes the colors look very different.
