The picture behind the model is of my wife's late father in Colorado where he ran a Texaco station in the 30's. The award was from a model contest in Nova Scotia.

The fuel lines,heater hoses and spark plug wires are made from various sizes of fine solder.

Great, what a beauty. Love the color you mixed up. Engine detail is stunning. Just turn the key.

I built this for my wife who is from Colorado, as a deluxe Service Station vehicle. Made the licence plates as well. Mixed up the maroon colour myself with Tamiya red and black.
