My diorama from 15 years ago. I have no recollection of ever owning the red convertible.

BEAUTIFUL diorama! Reading the subject, (Nader Motors) I expected to open the thread to an all-Corvair car lot. Then I saw the name was really Nadler.

@perrone1 Yeah, I typo’d the title of the post. The real Nadler Motors was a Chevy dealership in Lake Mills, WI, my Dad’s hometown. He bought a 1953 Bel Air there. Dealership is long since gone, but the building and lot are still there.

More pictures. As you can see, I changed to an electric Bowtie sign at some point. Sold the whole thing eventually.

@cprust OMG! what can we say? Thanks for the extra pics Chet. Would be incredible walking into the room at night with only the diorama light on. Could be considered a sculptured work of art!
