An
AMT 1949 - 1950 Ford Coupe.
I
made this into a Florida State Trooper car. It is painted
Testors Gloss black and
Ivory. The decals are Fred Cady.
The
lights and siren are out of my parts box from another kit
or two. On modern Trooper cars, the 'State Trooper' lettering
would be on the front fender, but on this older 1950's car,
I thought it looked better on the rear.
Overall
the rest of the kit is built right out of the box. I think
I positioned the front spindles for a more dropped look. This
is an older tooling, but holds up well.
With
the dog dish wheels and caps, it was a natural for a pursuit
State
Trooper car !
(Fred
Cady is out of business, but Chimneyville
does these decals, except the 'State Trooper' lettering
is white instead of gold. I have seen recent Trooper cars
with both colors. So either one is accurate.)
