PICS - MCUSA Ford diorama

I filled another shelf today with all the stock Motor City USA 1950-51 Fords made (except for 2 - anybody know which ones?). It needs a few finishing touches such as light standards and pennants hanging from wires, however its 99% there. I wish you could see the lot surface. It is gravel.

Awesome! Are the '40s Fords by Brooklin?

I didn't notice any '40s Fords?

There's a gray '47 Ford Woody by Brooklin on the left side, in the rear, and a pickup truck in the showroom which I can't identify. Could it be from the
forties?

There is also a '46 Ford in the back by the woodie.

Great job! Love to see all those Fords in one place! So...

I give up, which stock Motor City '50, '51 Fords are missing?

OK Falls Motors is a dealership that is number one on my .....

list to visit!

Thanks Randall for posting these images. Not only can you build an impressive
collection of model cars but you also have excellent skills on the diorama front.

Thanks everybody. More photos of OK Falls Ford in Picture This as well. Now...

the set is missing the '50 Ford Yellow Cab and the '51 Crestliner that Motor City issued as a USA Model. It has less detail than the models here but excellent casting and finishing.

I assume the '46 Ford is the Western.

It is. I thought it looked huge next to the 50's but actually similar length and width. Much taller.
