‘41 Chevrolet van in Pennzoil livery.
I finally threw this one together last week. A Durham, originally in a rather drab livery, (something to do with bicycles), now jazzed up a bit and upgraded with additional chrome parts. Almost a diorama!!photo no longer available

Almost a diorama and a little gem for sure - great work, John!

John, that was a C.C.M. Bicycles van; I love it. Not drab but nostalgic for me.

BTW...your van is lovely.

Many thanks, gentlemen for your kind comments.
I guess drabness as well as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I now have ideas for a couple of other commercial vehicles in this livery. Watch this space!

John, looks like a factory issue. Great paintwork.

Snazzy!

Great results! I like Durhams, and your results open up new areas. Hmmm....

That's a great conversion John.
I have always thought that if manufacturers were more adventurous and imaginative in their choice of liveries, then more sales would resuIt. Over the years many excellent models have appeared in less than appealing liveries, and mainly for ease of production. IMHO, the more attractive the model, the greater the sales potential. Your conversion John would, I feel, be a sure fire winner as a production model.
