With a Tip O' the Herman Hat to John Merritt.....

Brooklin also did a model of the Cord bodied Graham. Love the pictures Gene.

Great pics, Gene...Glad to see you posting here again. Got a question for you. I'm pretty sure it was you that we discussed the Mack AC trucks that carried giant reams of paper and rode along Christy Street in Manhattan way back in the 1950s. Do you remember the name of the trucking company and the color of the trucks? I built a 1/24 scale Mack, and I'd like to add the company name, at least, and paint the correct color. Thanks.

@sizedoesmatter Yeah, that was me, John. It was Daniels & Kennedy, but I don't remember their paint scheme. I assume the model you built is the one Monogram did and has been reissued by various companies over the years. I built this balloon tire AC-4 conversion with interchangeable bodies in 2001. Got any photos of yours you'd like to share?

Those are beautiful automobiles. That magnificent hood ornament gives the “Spirit of Ecstasy” a run for her money !!

Thanks Gene, I find it mesmerizing and I’m pretty sure it’s got to be worth a small fortune.

@monteverde802 what a brilliant idea to make the bodies interchangeable Gene! I stuffed up my first attempt at the kit, and even kept the tipper tray. Second attempt came out OK, but I didn't think to make up up the tipper tray to match the completed body so I could swap them around ☹️ Thanks for all the pics, cars and Mack truck!

Love what you both did with your Mack AC.

@geoff-jowett Nice weathering, Geoff. That's a skill I never mastered. And that Lanz Bulldog look right at home with a Mack Bulldog.  

Great pics, cars AND trucks. I love those sharknose Grahams. Just beautiful. 😎🤑
