Great color for this Plymouth. 😎 

It is a really nice color, isn't it ? I also quite like this blue hue on this one. This is a pretty old Yat Ming but they did a good job on this very reasonably priced diecast model and it displays great with other diecast models or on a set for either display or photography.

A four-door '41 Plymouth in 1/18 would also certainly be an extremely attractive replica and there are not too many four-door models out there in  this scale.

A very smart model and excellent photography and settings as always! I particularly like your weatherboard house shots. There's something particularly American 1920s / 30s about this style; in my mind.

Thanks ! The house is a 1/18 scale model of a real house still here in Riverside where my Mom used to live with her Dad and Mom and two brothers until about 1935 when they moved to a rented house also in town. Finally, 1939 they bought and moved to the long-time family house elsewhere in Riverside and it is still in the family. This model house is in three sections : the ground floor, the upstairs, and the roof. There is also a rear porch.

I have used it for 1/18 photography here at my apt, but after my stroke last year, to give me more room, it has returned for now back to the family home elsewhere in town. My Mom's Dad (my Grandfather) was a chief engineer at Diamond-T trucks a few miles away in Chicago, so building this "doll house" was probably child's play for him ...... no pun intended, lol !!

Yat Ming did a fabulous job with this model and it's proportions. I haven't looked at this model for some time but as I recall it has a V8 engine rather than the original flat head six.

I saw the generic 8 cylinder in their and I guessed their budget allowed everything but didn't allow tooling up a brand-new in-line engine ! Lol, or perhaps one could consider this is a devastating "sleeper car" with a beautiful stock exterior and dynamite under the hood !
