This is a fairly early Greenlight model released in 2012. Do not see many models based on the 1950's cars. Seems odd as they are very common to see at car shows especially the tri-5 Chevys. Tri 5 Chevys being the 1955, 56 and 57 Bel Airs. Next to Camaros and Mustangs they are the most common cars one will see plus they look great. Chrome trim, two-tone paint scheme and all around great styling. I should save all this for my next post and get to the model.
The model is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in a great two-tone paint scheme. Hopefully my transition from paragraph tp paragraph was acceptable. Anyway look at the photos this is great model.
Next I am going to do a did you see what I did there thing.
At first glance, I thought it was a real full size '55 Bel Air. A very detailed and fantastic model.
I like these Greenlights. Again the best '55 color scheme to choose. These Greenlight guys have the color taste of the classic era Matchboxes you have shared. I'm not a Matchbox collector but I've stated many times they had best color selection of anybody. The Greenlights you have shared are very impressive in that category especially.
Thank you very much Scott. It is very realistic.
Thank you very much Toyrebel. Greenlight did a great job with the color on this one.
Back in the 70's I owned a real one just like I was 18 and bought it for $400.00 dollars keep it 20 years an then sold it a great car.
Thank you very much Bobdirt. You want instant cool get one of these. Wish I had one.
