...make a '37 Delage in operational detail. Wired & plumbed motor, opening doors and hood, functional steering...Oh what could have been. Still - as a stationary curbside model, the image itself is commanding.
Unfortunately not exactly accurate to the original car. The judges need to replace their glasses. Sorry to rain on the parade.
I have spent hours looking and comparing, I have tons of pictures of the original car, the fit and finish is superb, but the proportions and shapes have issues. Here is an old post for the interested:
@chavYou're not 'raining on my parade'. I didn't design it, build it, or judge it. This was purely FYI.
Rich, I meant "rain on the parade" in general as the thread was in positive tone till my reply. I'm passionate about the car and was expecting a great model. Well, happiness is reality minus expectations. In this case with high expectations, happiness was a negative result. I am actually raining on my parade. My wallet was happy though, I never added the black very limited edition, and my Automodello purchases subsequently plummeted.
