This model is very unusual in that it is a rail inspection vehicle and a coupe!

Fantastic model. I changed mine to black wall tires.

@jcarnutz Interesting that you saw it that way to make the very improved tire change John; the wide whites were very unrealistic and the main reason I passed on the model.

John, I would've done the same....however, with RR inspection vehicles just about ANYTHING is possible. 😬 But as Jack noted, 2-drs are rare.

@chris Wow....now that is a Chryyyyyyyyyysler!
If it's possible to feel sorry for a car I feel so for this poor Cadillac....such a fall from elegant grace!

Very cool vehicle and what a beautiful Brooklin 1/43 replica of this neat railroad inspection Pontiac automobile. As long as I knew there wasn't a locomotive heading towards me the other way, this would be a fun ride !

I saw this model on display at the CTCS booth at their annual Toy Show/Sale this past October. One of the members for a small charge would add LED lights to the roof lights to make them functional. The model on display had working lights. Very impressive.

Looks good both ways butu, perhaps, more authentic with these blackwalls! Nice job John!

Wow....now that is a Chryyyyyyyyyysler!
That would make a hell of a project, wouldn't it?
A few folks have done this sort of 1/43 conversion before but imagine this Chryyyyyyyyysler in 1/43 moving on RR tracks! Damn it Jack, you made me think, I hate when that happens! 🤔 😠 🤔 😠
