    Wow!! Now that's a collection of fine art!! That '56 Convertible is great! It seems that I remember seeing that green '55 years ago? Glad to finally see the front of the '61. I was even more glad to see that California Custom tube grille in it! The Corvette is built perfectly! And don't get me started on the Zinger '57!!

    thanks, the green 55 was built by the A bros in 1964. the Blue 55 was built by Paul Savelesky in 1961 and the 56 conv was Ron Hing's and was built in 1964. The 57 isn't a zinger, it is a full size version of the deals wheels model kit that Revell had built back in 1970. you can read about my collection of stuff here:

    I'm no expert but I think my favorite car at the GNRS had Lee's. The 54 210 hardtop custom in the suede palace?

    20250921_190843.jpg 20250921_190849.jpg 20250921_190855.jpg After searching for many years, I finally found a pair of the white '56 Chevy lenses! They are used, and not perfect, but definitely better than nothing.

    I believe that is the "party doll" 55? Pontiac custom. No, those are not Lee lenses

    So I was watching a vid about a guy that just bought this old 58 ford race car. and as the vis swung to the rear.. the old hulk had Lee Lenses... which I thought was pretty cool...... and I am sure today...very hard to find.

    Cool, I never thought to look for them on eBay. I’ve been thinking about molding some myself. I’d have to go back through the thread to see if that was covered here, but the time is in setting up the mold once that’s done you just sandwich in the piece of plexiglass, heat it up, and shoot air pressure to it.

    I looked in my 1963 catalog and 49 is as far back as they went on Fords
