"Paging Dr. Marlowe Johnson..."

Your display could tell a history, rather than a moment in time.

In the case of the limo, we would need three models: 1) JFK with the bullet hole in the windshield  2) JFK after Ford special products replaced the damaged windshield 3) LBJ.  -  Depending of course, on the history one wants to tell  .

@charles-rockett It should be set in a diorama that includes the "Grassy Knoll". LOL

@rich-sufficool Can you imagine history if it had been a different time of year, and called the "Muddy Bank" ?

OH GEEZ! What have I done?  😬 😬 😬  Gentlemen, we will NOT go down that  road.

Just remember, there are proven & replicated facts, theories and infinite opinions. I'll leave it at that. As I say to folks (I write about this often) when discussing "OJ, Elvis, elections, etc...."  if anyone can offer evidence to the contrary, please, hire an agent(s) immediately. Within 48 hours you will become famous around the globe, the world has waited years to see your proof.

That's a nice philosophy. When multiple but different vehicles are involved (...like the history of stock cars or Police cars ) that's exactly what I do. 

But for me, it's difficult to reconcile a multiple vehicle, w/different liveries, display of the same vehicle.

Make sense?

@chris I have been collecting all the Bugatti Royales.  There were seven chassis produced, (six as far as French license officials are concerned). However there are eleven bodies, so how should one display them? (Restored Packard body, not in photograph; 'opera window' body last one to get).

Make sense?

@charles-rockett Yeah, I get it, in that case.... I'd be in a dilemma, a true crisis of conflict!  😯 😯 

-Cool display though! 😎 

@chris Heco Miniatures produced the whole lot - at unbelievable prices, if you could find them - including the contested 'seventh' chassis with engine (12 total).  To my mind - as with your dragster - if you get the body order correct, rather than chassis order, you're ok suspending reality and displaying them together. Regarding the Bugattis, they make a fascinating story which I shall post when I get the last one and two others 'up to scratch'. On this last, the first was originally bodied with a green Packard body and later restored / replicated (?) in crimson/ burgundy. Mine is in the later colour and that is cause for lost sleep / anxiety.

In your example, you are correct.  The S&M team had only one hardtop.  They did have a second AWB car that was a sedan.  It was built in-house and not by Amblewagon, which was the contracted shop that built the original factory-effort AWB Plymouths and Dodges. 

@marty-johnson Perfect, thanks!

Lol, there are a lot of  so-called "... proven and replicated facts ....."  out there. But then the WC is among the claimed theories, too. As in the "SBT", etc, etc.

@mikedetorrice As I've noted...prove it. Wealth and fame await; untold millions have waited 60 years to hear/see your proof.

As I said, even the WC/SBT is a "theory". There was no trial, so nothing is unchallenged and "proven".

There was a trial. In 1969 Clay Shaw was put on trial by New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison for co-conspiracy in the murder of JFK. That Clay Shaw was found not guilty, does not render sworn submissions and testimonies, untrue. And so those testimonies stand - including witness testimony to the Lincoln having a bullet hole in the windscreen as it sat outside the Parkland Memorial hospital. Ergo, citing court testimony does not make one a part of the tin-foil hat brigade.
