That is a DM blue ‘58 with a cab from a red DM ‘57 Cameo. I removed the sun viser and hood chrome pieces and filled them in with Mr. Hobby white putty and painted the cab blue; I then just painted over the chrome bumper and grille. She’s not perfect, just an old work truck.

American Diorama and Preiser. Already painted. I’m not that good!

David, I  love your setup and pics. I REALLY love that '55 Pontiac without the skirts. I'd love to do that with mine. Any tips or info on how you did yours? 😊

Love the FM Pontiac with the CORRECT "wide" white wall tires.  The model I bought originally from FM had "thin" white walls on it.  Bugged me, since "thin" whites didn't come in until 1961/62.  Later FM fixed the problem when a later issue of the same Pontiac and the correct "wide" whites.  So I have two of this particular model.  It's a beauty, so I don't mind.  And the "white wall" story is good conversation when fellow car lovers see my models.
