Hey Capetrainman, very nice indeed. Makes me recall when my Dad and I went to see the debut of the 1955 Chevrolet when it was introduced at the dealership in Fullerton, California. A red and white Bel Air was on the showroom floor with the new V8. I have been a Chevy man ever since. The dealership just happen to be on the same street as the Santa Fe Depot. The best of times.

Curt: Your OK car lot comes at the right time with Menards having just released their new O gauge TTX dual car loading flat car with six Ford pick up trucks.

A few guys mentioned that they don't know what to do with all the trucks.  Perfect timing indeed!  Thanks for sharing.  Beautiful scene from any angle!  Long live Super-O track.  Looks great too!

Cars of the 1950s capture my imagination, especially the long-gone brands. I own a 1956 Continental Mark II as proof of loyalty to that era!

I never owned a Studebaker, but I collected several 1:48 models of various years of those iconic autos. I wanted to show them on my L-shaped layout, so I decorated a showroom building as a Studebaker dealership with a used car lot alongside. The rooftop sign is fragile. I broke it twice when installing it but re-glued it. The showroom features a Stude Golden Hawk on a rotating turntable. The gold-color car in front wasn't made by Studebaker, but the actual prototype is the MANTA RAY, a one-of-a-kind custom-made car with a Stude chassis and running gear. That model (and most of the other Studes in this scene) are by Diecast Direct. IMHO, the 1953 Stude is the best of the best!
