PICs - Occasional Bonus Dose of Diecast
Here is another recent model that I have added to my collection...
I couldn't resist this one and the price was fantastic compared to others I've seen. Now the whitewalls were in bad shape, cracked and very yellow. I didn't have another set of whitewalls that would fit, but the black-walls from the Cadillac did fine. I like it better this way.

The blackwalls are much more approiate for the era anyway.

PIC - Your lovely Hudson was built for the founder of Victory Models, Ray Paszkiewicz Jr.
In addition to bringing us many great Buick, Cadillac, LaSalle, DeSoto, Nash, Packard, Studebaker, GMC, Diamond T (did I forget a make?) models from the pre- and post-War years, Ray also was a well known model car dealer from New Jersey. I got to know him near the end of his Lilliput Motor Car co. and revered his painstakingly accurate approach to his Victory and LaFamilia lines.
Fortunately, these models have continued under the leadership of Buz Kirkel (Route66modelcarstore) who continues to re-issue some of Ray's models.
This photo of my Williams' Motors Hudson diorama has two Mini Marque '43 and one Minimarque (the red coupe) Hudsons from 1942-47 all based on the same basic pattern. These were issued by Mini Marque/Minimarque and station wagon and 4dr sedan versions from Western Scale Models. Every body style was modeled which is quite unusual.
