Starting two projects…not sure how they will turn out. I don’t really care to do this work. Would much rather pay to have it completed.

 

First, the 1954 Cadillac #127 in the Carrera Panamerica race.

1954 RACE Kit

The actual car below...

The second project is this Dinky Superior Ambulance. A toy, in fact, but I believe it can be made into a decent model with some work and detailing.

I guess we will see.

I look forward to seeing your results, and I admire your willingness to attempt such ventures.   I struggle with assembling simple (?) kits.

Vitesse made one of the Carrera Caddies years ago - I wish they had continued.

Beautiful Packard, Ralf!   Here's my version:

And I really like the Duesenberg racer project. Great results will happen, I'm sure!
