You did it again Mike. Ditto my remarks on the Mercury above.

Another great model from SunStar. Mike, once again your backgrounds are simply fantastic. Someday, I am going to try this. I have this model in blue/white and it is a big favorite of mine, although the convertible version is even more impressive.

Thanks, Chris. This is a fun one to have .... a true "Rocket Olds".

Thanks, John. Your photo-layouts are already superb and always beautifully lit. They are an education in natural light images and, in your 1/24 series, a real eye-opener to a scale I have only a few replicas in.

The blue-white '59 Olds is a stunner. I have that one, too and a top-up red one ....... all gorgeous models.

And thank-you. Very kind words and praise. You have always been an inspiration for me and my photo layouts. I always try to have each one be better than the last.
In my current home, I had to work with what was already established in natural backgrounds and such. In the new house, I plan on designing my landscaping with photo opportunities in mind for all of my little cars.

That's great pics Mike.

I love the combo of that olds and the modern architecture built back in the days.
I also remember a pic with that car you once have posted to the DCP on which the olds is standing in front of a wall in a summer night. One almost can hear the crickets chirping,looking at that pic.

Hi Torsten, it is good to see you here ! These wonderful futuristic cars from long ago seem to lend themselves to certain architectural settings.

It seems the future we find is often times different than what we think it will be ....... or maybe we just haven't waited long enough yet.
