I missed yesterday so today is a twofer. First up is the '53 Skylark. Once again ill-fitting doors let down the model, color is Ridge Green. Best displayed with doors open.

Also from 1953, their Studebaker Starliner in Coral Red.

I also have a Spark resin model of a '53 Champion in the same color but with the ivory roof (special for Model Car World). Would have been a nice model but the trailing edge of the vent window should not be vertical but slanted like the FM.
