Happy Friday to all! Come and ride with us!
All of these are model cars, painstakingly assembled to exact specifications in a private glass cabinet!
I was invited to have a look, see here...and let me tell you that I have never seen something like this before.
At first the owner was a bit hesitant, but then I got permission to slide the glass doors open and to take some pictures of this great collection. Very obvious that the cars are exact replicas of the original cars.
My favorite is in the last 2 photos!
Come and see what beauties I have here!
I could only identify a few cars, but rather hastened to show you the beauty and a few of you may be able to identify the cars!
This one looks like a Ford Fairlane, but I don't know the model. (Victoria?)
The left front headlight has gone awol here on this car!
I would love to see this one with it's roof taken off!
I think the lighting decal on the hood belonged to one of three manufacturers? Opel, Zephyr or Consul?
Bear in mind that in South Africa we have different car brand names!
I was a bit biased here, as I like the old Chevrolets, or Chevvies, as we call them and the next four photos are of different model Chevrolets (including the photo above)
This one is easy, as it is a 1958 Chevrolet Fury. Imagine today with all of the road fighting between impatient people driving a car called fury Lol.
Right! Here we have my favorite. This one is the Buick Eight, Rag Top, 1949 model.
They were also called the Buick Eight, convertible.
Finally, another view of the Buick here!
And That's All Folks!
We do in fact have a much older Buick Eight running around in the town here and I have posted it before. No use to ask me who owns the collection or where it is as all that I can say is that it's a private collection in pristine condition.
Not a speck of dust can be seen on the cars and they are in a great condition, bar the one that lost it's headlight, but I didn't enquire about it. I was just so grateful to get photos of this rarity.
Many of you might remember your parents, or grandparents driving about in one of these and please feel free to identify any car in the comments here!
Note: All pictures are my own, unedited and only cropped for uploading purposes.
Camera used is my trusty Canon Powershot SX60 HD, on the Auto, or Macro settings!
Remember to also have a look at the front-end called @Steempeak
We hope that you liked the pictures and thank you for visiting
