After seeing a lovely restored 1950 Ford convertible this past weekend at a club car show I got to thinking about "shoebox" Fords, so worked up these photos. Business coupe in front, top up convertible on roof turntable, Tudor sedan in showroon, station wagon with hood open for service with white smocked attendant, F1 pickup to far left F5 service truck to far right.
And at a period filling station.
And cars alone.

....one of the RARE occasions in which every model displayed is commercially available, right? No augmentation or fabrication needed; good for you John, you earned the rest! 😀 😀

They are possibly commercially available now but some of these were my customs done some time around 1989-92 when they were not available except for the Ertl business coupe. The maroon two door sedan is a chop of an Ertl (happens to be a replica of a car my parents had for a short time in 1953), the grey convertible also a chop as is the four door sedan And here is one more a replica of a 1950 Ford coupe driven by Donald Turnipseed on Friday September 30, 1955 in Cholame California when he ran into actor James Dean killing him as he was driving his almost new Porsche 550 Spider (Little Bastard) on state route 46 about sunset.
