Third picture down. Is it my perception or does the windshield appear to be excessively raked ?

Here's a picture for comparison. I think the Motorhead version is pretty good. (pic

Agreed, Ken. It's a pretty nice model from most angles, but...
in side view not only is the screen too raked but the pillar itself is distinctly banana-shaped when it should be almost straight. As a result the quarterlight is much too wide.

Although the windshield seems a bit low
For only 30 euros I can't say anything bad about this model... I can live perfectly with that windshield. I'm 39 years old and from Spain and never saw the real car...

The chrome trim appears to curve down a bit towards the rear.

I can live with minor defects like this on my white one - total cost only $38.
Got mine on sale in 2017. Also got the '59 Ranch Wagon and '60 Starliner hardtop.
