Speaking of Oldsmobiles, I wish someone would make a 1940 olds woodie in 1/43. 1940 was Oldsmobiles first year for a factory offered station wagon. Offered in the 60 series, it has an Olds commissioned body by Hercules of Evansville Indiana, now in Henderson Ky. Olds made about 633 units. There are about five known to exist. My friend has owned two of them. I took the first phot in 1968. The last two near its completion in about 1976.

The bumpers were very popular with the hot rodders in the '50's.

I can see why. They're very distinctive.
