I have seen that Arena kits issued a 2-door version last year.
Maybe in some months
I already have the decals and the correct wheels for it
This 1954 Dodge is still in the planning stages 😉

Right now, I have this kit from Me-Mod 43 (a Swiss company) to assemble. The main difficulty for me is that I will have to find a way to make the panoramic windshield. The kit only contains a sheet of transparent plastic for the glazing.
It will serve to reproduce one of the 4-door Bel-Air used as official cars during the 1955 Indy 500
I received the decals today :

Another car that I'd like to reproduce is this 1953 Ford Victoria.
The model issued some years ago by Nostalgic Miniatures could be a good basis
I already have the decal sheet

And last but not least, I think that I will made this 1952 Studebaker R-5 with its "Fire Chief" livery :
The US model Mint model will be used. I just have to find it for a good price. For this one too, I already have the decal sheet

The following modelcar holds a special place in my collection. I made it as a tribute to my friend Lee Douthitt, well-known to fans of official Indy 500 vehicles, who passed away in March 2021 of leukomia. In those photos, he's driving this Silverado Centennial Edition.
Tribute from the IMS :

Pascal - that is such sad news. I actually met Lee a few times when we were at Tom Wood Porsche in Indy. My wife bought her Macans there from a fellow salesman. I had no idea he was sick. https://www.flannerbuchanan.com/obituaries/lee-raul-douthitt
