1950 Chev 3100 Pickup
I printed up some 1953 Colorado plates, the year my wife was born!
Then I added some chains to the tailgate, made from a necklace that belonged to my late Mother.
A closeup of the front licence plate.
I even managed to paint the "Blue Dot" tailight lenses.
The picture behind the model is of my wife's late father in Colorado where he ran a Texaco station in the 30's. The award was from a model contest in Nova Scotia.
The fuel lines,heater hoses and spark plug wires are made from various sizes of fine solder.
The firewall to fender braces are scratchbuilt.

I built this for my wife who is from Colorado, as a deluxe Service Station vehicle. Made the licence plates as well. Mixed up the maroon colour myself with Tamiya red and black.
