I like that '47. I've not seen one with the painted grill before. I think I've only seen all chrome.

I've seen them chromed too, John, but Studebaker never built them that way. IIRC, I blackwashed the slots to bring out the contrast.

Thanx, John. IIRC, Ertl released it in the mid-1990's in a variety of commercial liveries and you can still find them around This one had a Coors beer logo on the doors that I removed.
