[Closed] Pics : 1950's & 1960's Chevrolet

Thanks for sharing pics. Each manufacturer has a different interpretation for sure.

Nice presentation!

Awesome group of Chevy's

And that, David, is the issue. There shouldn't be an interpretation of the design, it should be exact to the measurements. IMHO. Just sayin'.

Very nice. The BRK 1954 sure looks great trimmed up like that!

A beautiful selection of Chevrolet models. Very impressive each one. Thank-you.

It's a fact that over the years some models have been 100% accurate...

but in small scale, whatever that scale is, they just don't look it. Others, of course, have been way off, which is why the whole issue of making little cars is so complex as anyone who has actually done so will attest. Even with the unrivalled access to data these days it's not an easy process and there are always plenty of opinions around on what is and isn't 'correct' - fair enough as it can sometimes involve a large outlay to purchase, not that buying anything is compulsory. Just my opinion in these times when little cars can either seem a welcome distraction or a superfluous addition.

Years ago I remember one of the diecasters stating that sometimes ...

...a 100& accurate casting would look a bit off when compared to the 1:1. They would make adjustments to give a model the right "look". I think this has a lot to do with perspective. You at a model from all angles, including from above, and can take it all in at once. At a car show or on the street, you see vehicles with a much more horizontal standpoint.

I agree Harv. Looking at real cars from a couple of floors up on a building and they often look completely different...or perhaps I just need new glasses
