Here is an old picture showing a model small town's stores on it's mainstreet, a replica ~1930's era automobile and a 1:1 size real little girl standing next to everything. Other than the full size small gal, what scale would you say these all were ?

....those buildings look to be about 1/4 scale, but that car appears to be a bit smaller and possibly one-dimensional. Cool set-up though!

Took the thoughts right out of my head! I thought one-quarter scale but the car more like 1/5 or 1/6th.
COOL pic nonetheless Mike!

@perrone1 I’m pretty sure that the place is “Tiny Town” in Colorado, if it is it’s 1/6 scale, and I believe it still exists.

It sure would be a neat place to see at any scale. Such a place could definitely make a great backdrop, in photographs or for display, of model automobiles !
