Going through one of my hard drives today, I came across two more of my "small large" cars. I did these several years ago, they're quite low-resolution and crude. The top image shows a 1962 Cadillac Coupe de Ville with my lite treatment: shorter overhangs and wheelbases on standard bodies. Above is a '65 Buick Wildcat, sorely in need of a restoration. I really enjoy creating chops of junked cars. I'd say 99% of the other choppers out there only work on new cars. I enjoy the challenge of reordering the pixels of a beat-up car to make it into one of my creations. Even my signature needs restoration in the Buick chop. : )
My first post of miniaturized domestic cars.
That Buick is so great . Completely believable !

I thought for a moment the Beige/light color Caddy was a Ford Falcon. Your mini wonders are really cool!

in my hard drive....
I think Woody's observation that the Cadillac looks like a Falcon is hilarious -- it really does look like a 63 Falcon when they introduced the "Thunderbird" roof line to Falcon sedans. There was a late 62 Falcon -- a fancy two-door -- that used it as well. I know it had the interior of the Futura (bucket seats and mini-console) but had the square roof and had "sports" in its name. Of course, the Cadillac also looks a lot like the short deck Cadillacs of 62/63.

I have a mid-year '62 Ford brochure somewhere. I'll have to find it. I don't remember a Falcon with "Sports" in the name until '66 I think,
ReplyDeleteI may be wrong about the name, but I knew of two examples of the late 62 Falcon with the Thunderbird roof. One was the wife of a doctor who lived up the street. She had one -- white with a black vinyl roof and red interior. Oddly enough, she traded in a 58 Lincoln 4-door hardtop for it!
ReplyDeleteWhen we were shopping for our 63 Falcon stripper two-door, the Ford dealer had a leftover 62 with the Thunderbird roof -- white with a black vinyl roof, black interior and 4 on the floor. That's probably why it was left over! Anyway, I being me, thought that would be a much nicer new ride than a 63 stripper two-door. I believe it might have also been available without the vinyl roof. Those Falcons were really special, and I'd love to have several of them now! Ranchero, sedan delivery (Courier?), two-door wagon, the list could go on!
I'll have to look in the Car Spotter and the Standard Catalog to see what the name of that mid-year model was. Stay tuned!

Paul- I am glad you enjoyed the picture, but I only know about this car after my dad telling me about his first encounter with one of those ladies of the night in one of these..lol
