3 old Chevrolets (pics)
Chevrolet's first post-war new body was used for model years 1949-1952. Here are three of them in 1:43.
I confess that the station wagon is my construction, just completed. Trying to build a woody makes me appreciate the factory-built woodies in my collection. Please forgive my errors, but please consider that this old Provence Moulage kit is kind of rough. PM used the Solido as the base and incorporated several Solido parts (some of which were missing).
My biggest error was attempting to use artist's oil paint to duplicate the wood. Never again!
Anyhow, I enjoyed the attempt over some of our cold, snowy winter days.

David, great Chevys....
....I have the White Record Convertible just like yours. I want to detail it, inside and out. Just haven't found the time or energy yet.
Doing woodies is tough. I've been attempting to add some of the trim on the Goldvarg Packard woodie and it isn't easy. Why don't some manufacturers finish off all the wood trim on the models? The Goldvarg model left off the entire trim around the windows and rear window! Even painted wood would have been nice.
I think your Chevy woodie is unique and one of kind. Those are the best little models to cherish.
