MrEarl Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 You're right about that rear fender Smitty, and Mark I agree with you on the Cadillac's but when it comes to roof lines, well.....

smithbrother Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Here are the other large scale models I have made. Lots of fun making such, and THANKS to Dave for inspiration to make the 1945 Buick parade float.Google Locomotive is still in the build process, need to paint the tail section, and buff out.

smithbrother Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Here are three, note length is approx. 26", scale I don't know, as I only had the picture of the actual parade float to look at. Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBloomberg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Mr Earl, I don't know about dogs, but I have vivid memories of passing a cattle truck at the wrong time. There was a huge amount of yellow fluid that hit the windshield and side of one of my LeSabres. I think it was my white '95 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well you can take it from me, don't ever pull up beside a chicken hauler at a red light, with your window down. Or up for that matter. Apparently the day before catching and loading, they hold feed and only give water. Who would ever believe how far a chicken can.....OK.... back on subject here....... speakin of chickens, check the one out to the left of the Buick. Actually I am thinking that is a White Eagle cast iron statue, the promotional mascot of the White Eagle Oil Company. But I thought they were bought out by Standard, not Mobil Oil???

Apparently the day before catching and loading, they hold feed and only give water. Who would ever believe how far a chicken can.....Nor do you want to be at a service station in Winslow, AR when a chicken hauler pulls in for gas and they've stacked the chicken cages higher than the canopy on the station. EVERY part of the chicken (not necessarily connected) plus flying wood fills the air. All you can do is suppress the gag and drive on. Luckily we'd filled and were on our way out.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 That body style hit the race tracks often. A very good friend LES SNOW drove one at Daytona a couple years. I believe his was a 55, and is pictured in some Buick history books. Love the stance, color isn't my 1st. choice, BUT looks good on this car.
