Bargan 1953 Chevrolet Belair convertible
For only $5 I found this red Chevrolet by Welly. It's scale is very accurate unlike some Welly items, and it shows considerable accuracy for a very inexpensive item. Yes, there are the shut lines, and not sure if '53 Chevys came with black tops and interiors. I added decal white walls and unfortunately my camera turns the excellent deep red a bit orangey.

Good find, John. I always appreciate a nicely done model from the low end. You found one!

I think it would be improved by yanking out those rear windows and massive frames. That would give it an entirely different look. Not bad for an inexpensive model, as you say.

They got the exterior colors right but not sure about the black top and interior. What say Chevy experts?
