From Motor City's USA Models line, a 1940 Ford Pickup with enhancements I recently added to reflect the truck as it would have come from the factory. The grill was always painted to match the fenders no mater what the body color. Same with the headlight doors. 99.999% of trucks came with blackwall tires so this model now sports them. The center windshield post was stainless steel and the windshield had rubber around it but no stainless trim. The model should have had a spare tire mounted behind the door on the passengers side but the truck wasn't modeled with it and I haven't added it at this time.

I like your revisions. My Yesteryear version (pic) looks more like the over-restored version seen at local shows, including the white walls. But it has a spare tire that you might find interesting.
