Continuing with DMs wonderful wood-bodied models. While not a station wagon, this model still accomplishes all the class and glamour of those wood-bodied examples.

Truly, one of my all-time favorite DM's. A perfect subject choice and perfect paint combo.

Photo'ed beautifully John!

@geno +!

I was also hoping for a convertible without the wood.

beautiful pics of a beautiful  model, thanks John. 

Geno there is a nice coupe kit around that I would love to see you have a go at! These are the 47, 48 kits I added. I really like the simplicity and balance of the 47/48 Ford design. John B there is a convertible around too. Wood on the wagon could do with a polish! I think I have all 47/48 Fords in 1/24/1/25 that are available.

That yellow Sportsman would have fit in beautifully in our "yellow cars" theme from the other day!  It's a beauty.
