How many of these have you seen?

Ok Folks what about this one... I had to double look at the Caption but they said it is a 1961 Thunderbird wagon

 

Roof is too straight. Drip rail should have a slight curve to it.
I also would have put a curve in the upper left corner of the 1/4 window (D pillar).
The C pillar should bisect the glass in the middle too which would equalize the size of all 3 panes of glass.

But the wheels and tires are spot on and the construction looks first rate.
Provided it's not a photoshop....

 

Yes, a slight curve of the wood and glass at the very rear would look more balanced. Yes on moving the C pilar back to center those two windows.
And it sure looks like a photoshop but I know nothing---Nothing I tell you!
Sure does look nice!

 

hey, hey, hey

I'd put in an order for one...

 

How many of these have you seen.

 

Should have photo shoped the wing on the roof

 

Model Cars Magazine lay-out guy Harry Prestovnick is a first rate photoshopper. He's done quite a few cars like that, making wagons that never were. He's also the moderator on their forum, a thankless job if you ask me, and has posted more than a few pieces over the years.

His work is very good but there are cues such as the shape of the rear window that he tends to not fix after moving it back. I won't say that this is his work... but it sure looks like it.

Me... I'd rather draw it out in pencil first and then use Photoshop to "airbrush" in the colors. I think Mark Ervin does it that way too, because you get the perspective correct right off.

 

I believe that black '61 Thunderbird with the wood is real. The red Charger - is not. The perspective is a bit off on the back window / hatch area.

 

This 69 Lincoln hearse was at Hershey on Saturday. I've never seen a Lincoln hearse before. To me it looks really strange with the steep slope of the roof from an almost stock height at the windshield, to a high ceiling above the rear door.

 

I love that color of Burgundy in the first one.

Wow - never seen one like that before, either. What make this one odd-looking is that it's basically a standard Lincoln with a standard wheelbase - no stretch. Even the doors are stock.
