There is a lack of 1951-53 models in our hobby. Even the 1953 Cadillac is pretty much unrepresented except for the BAM version. One of my favourites is the 1952 Pacecar.
Particularly so for Mopars. No Plymouths, Dodges, De Sotos etc.. Perhaps cars changed little or were found uninteresting ?

50 Chevrolet (Solido)
51 Chevrolet convertible Thistle Grey (Motor City USA Models)
52 DeSoto Firedome 4dr Sedan (Franklin Mint)

!953 was an especially exciting year for sports cars. Dinky brought out 5 from the UK and one Italian one.

(@frank) The Motor City 1959 Chevrolet convertible was too spendy for me so I built one and while I was at it did a few other variations using the well proportioned Solido.
Now what we really need is some 1949-52 Plymoughs!
And recently Arena has done a resin kit of a 1954 Dodge Royal hardtop in Panamerican racing livery but I built mine stock and added some left over Brooklin Kelsey Hayes wire wheels.

The 1951 Chevy Styline DeLuxe once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter.

SUPER CRAPPY PICS
Sorry Gents! Ever try taking pics of showcases inside showcases? My smaller size showcases are "booby-trapped" ...touch just one thing and WHAMO!
So... I did the best I could. Many I couldn't even get to. 😣 😣
So.... here's a few "Early 1950's"

I looked in the GM in miniatures book and I don't see any 1951 or 1952 Oldsmobiles. From 1953 up to and including 1960 no missing or 1950.
