Dear friends,

another first prototype just arrived one hour ago of this 1953 Oldsmobile.

There are still many things to improve, but this is the first model to be based for improvements.

Color suggestions are well accepted!

MAKE IT in this tu-tone green!  This looks fabulous and those VERY ATTRACTIVE 1953 Oldsmobile wheelcovers appear to be replicated PERFECTLY!

Sergio, we need a 1953 Buick Roadmaster Riviera to go with this. You have mostly all the parts from the upcoming Estate Wagon.

The tailpipes shouldn’t be visible.

This two tone green is perfect.

Wow....I LOVE this one.  My color choices are Surf Blue with Cadet Blue roof and Nile Green with Fern Green or White roof.  Great to hear that the Buick is planned as well!

For sure Mike and the '52 & '51 Olds would be equally awesome to have done one day.

That would be a great color combo too Roger.  I recall seeing it when I was a kid and also Lotus Cream with a black roof

Being a gorgeous 1953 Oldsmobile, virtually any color or color combo would be excellent. Just "clear" and "clear over clear" would be the only ones I might be hesitant about !

The green two-tone would look nice next to Esval's '55.
