Model? If the headlights and tyre tread didn't give it away, I'd think this was the real deal!

But yes, old Fords, Love them :D.

yeah, thanks. :) that's the advantage with 1:18 scale models. they look more the real thing, especially if they are weathered like this one.

Maisto makes both a '49 and a '50 Ford. The 1949 model is a convertible. Mine is burgandy red, and quite handsome. The '50 is also a convertible, but with the top up. In black, with some red pinstriping, and a continental tire on the rear bumper, it was well worth having as well as the other. Maisto can do some crappy work, and some superlative work (for mid-range pricing anyway). I'd rather these as 8 out of 10. Not the maker's best, but near the top.

Solido is a make I've never seen in the flesh... or the metal.

curiously enough, I have an old kit by AMT of a '49 convertible, and one of a '50 by Matchbox, and I intend to build them one day. :) hmm, pinstriping is nifty. :) I'll take a closer look at the big models next time I'm in town, but I can't buy them... anyway.

large Solido models are a bit on the simple side if you look closer, but they are within their price range, and size, details and proportions are always up par, so in my book they have their place on the market. I usually collect the smaller 1:43 models from them, and I guess you've never seen one of those either?

Well, Not bad. You can use mine for reference if ya like.

what, you have a '49 Ford yourself? ^^ awesome!

I meant my car photos. But my Dad does hav a 48.

ah, I see. thank you for offering, I might take you up on it. :)
