Lee Petty´s 55 Chrysler
« on: January 31, 2018, 04:39:51 PM »
This is a model of Lee Petty´s Chrysler prepared for the old Daytona beach course.

I saw only a black and white pic of this car when i build it, so i don´t think the roof was gold painted.
Maybe a beige shade.





Because of the high value of this car, i put a watchdog on the Chryslers site.
Unfortunately, we lost our little lady "Hella" 4 years ago at age of 16. I took this pic 3 mounth before she passed.
We miss her so much...

I like the scale car....and the 1/1 watch Dog!! She's a cutie Michael. I can see why you miss her.

Excellent race car build and a very nice little dog. I understand why you miss her.

Absolutely beautiful build, Michael. Excellent paint and decal work. So sorry to hear about Hella. She must have been a wonderful dog and I know you must miss her very badly. Just remember all the good times you had with her and the joy she brought you.

Neat car! Neat dog! I know how you feel, we had to put down our Belle chiuhuahua(?) after 13 yrs. Congestive Heart Failure. We've since gotten a Maltipoo that absolutely adores me! (I sure don't know why!). He doesn't let me move without being right there....back to models. This is a good one!

Thank you, Rett!

Maltipoos are so cute. Who can resist those little "fluff balls"  :) :)

I absolutely love this build! I didn't know Lee drove a Chrysler, but then again, there is a lot I don't know.
