Jacques, that is fascinating and very well done.
What you have created with this post is what makes our hobby of living with little cars so much fun. They bring back such great memories.

We relive our past via our models.
Here's one from my early childhood and a memorable 16 day (!) trek from Virginia to California with the family horse and (homemade) trailer. WOW.

As I recall, a Record Chevrolet with Solido parts grafted on and all chrome removed to replicate the ultra base car. Trailer is scratch built.
