Here's a '56 Star Chief to go with FM's '55. BMF on the trim and silver foil (it's super thin) on the scripts and badging... and a bit of paint and dual exhausts.
Here's a '56 Fireflite V8 4dr. Not as shiny and neat as the DM coupe, but looks pretty good. Same treatment as the above Pontiac.

@al_dorado One thing about those old Jo-Hans is they always seem to get the shape and details pretty well. You just need to bring them out.

SUPERB BMF work, Rich. It really makes those models pop, especially since there was so much bright trim on the 1:1 cars. My '58 Impala is the only promo I have ever attempted it on and it was TEDIOUS work, especially the fake scoop between the door and rear tire. Only pix I have of it, unfortunately.
