1953 WILDCAT Concept & FAUX Magazine Cover
This was created totally on a whim and it was a joy ride putting it all together.
The Buick Wildcat 1 concept car is a 1/18th scale [ about 19 inches long ] RESIN cast model. Nothing opens or turns on it but it is a wonder to behold.
Looking through photos from mid- 20th Century car shows, many displays were aiming for a modern "classical" look, so here is my take on it. By utilizing an aluminum cake dish, glitter embedded plastic from a drum set, a micro wave dish holder, 4 sheets of ribbed styrene plus a string of micro, battery powered LED lights, I cobbled together a high end, early 1950s "motorama" stage set.
For the Faux magazine cover...I dove into my vintage collection; cutting a pasting as I went along, aiming for that "certain look" that only car magazines had back then.
No disrespect was intended! I truly love the vibe of those times.
The Wildcat Concept 1 model is by Minichamps and worth every penny.
ALSO:
A gentle reminder that the second Elgin Park book is now available!
It's 320 pages in full color and weighs over 3.5 pounds
