That 1911 Chevy turned out fantastic!
I wish round 2 would bring back this with a hot rod version and the 33 Chevy delivery sedan!

Great video, with absolutely stunning models! I don't think I've ever seen an assembled amt 1911 Chevrolet.

Very cool builds! I really like the Henry J and the whole story of teaming up with Sears. I wonder where both companies would be if they stayed together? Thanks for sharing.

A couple places have produced resin kits of the 1911 Chevy, Mike’s Miniature Motors way back and Missing Link more recently.

It was a muscle car. Love it. Wow, it must have been amazing to be alive in those days. Ocean liners were racing across the Atlantic, people were building faster planes and cars like this were being built and getting faster every year...

I think that is the Packard boattail and not a Duesenberg.
