I can't really pick one because there are so many great ones. The woodies are especially excellent.

A very difficult choice, so many nice ones. For me, I would pick any of the 50-51 Studebaker models.

PICS: Another one that I think is very realistic is DM's 41 Chevy. The real car was just featured the current issue of Hemmings Classic Car magazine. This DM model has always been one of my favorites! photo no longer available

Phil, We tried to make them all as realistic as possible. I know that some cars hit the mark better than others. My pick for realism is the '58 Pontiac hardtop. I took this photo one morning behind our building in Norwalk. The car is sitting on top of a small rolling dumpster after a light snow. Great question!photo no longer available

Rick, that is a fantastic photo and I agree about the Pontiac. It for sure is one of the finest.

Seeing your name again, reminds me how I miss receiving the "Cars of the Open Road" catalog that would get me all excited to see new models in it. Good memory! Hope you're doing well during this stressful time in our world.
