@chris I have the Hudson and a stock Merc (it was my first car) but that pickup is really cool. Did you convert it or did it come with the livery? I assume "Fireball" refers to Glenn "Fireball" Roberts?

No, no...Rich, it's not a pickup. It's an Ertl 1/18 1957 Chevy convertible "Fireball Roberts" stock car. I have 3 or 4 of these. This one is completely unaltered; I did nothing but remove it from the box. The chassis is very well done with ALL period-correct stockcar enhancements.
