1964 Olds F-85 Cutlass 442

Hi, I am Gonzo. I am new to this site. I am professional 1/25th scale model car builder, In have clients all over the world. I build things that were never made as a kit, or in a promo. One of a kind stuff. I also build the regular models. I have enclosed http://www.gonzosmodelcarsandfigures.net/64f85.html as an example. This would be the Bo9 442 package. There are many Olds models here as well. Enjoy, and if you need one of your real car built contact me. Ciao, Gonzo

Very, very impressive. The one thing that sticks out, however, is the modern blue AC oil filter. I believe the oil filter would have been white in 1964 (or else, the model has had the oil changed recently...).

Yeah, I changed the oil when it was on the work bench. The distance in 1/25th scale miles to drive it to the back yard for pictures, then back to the display case is equal to about 3000 real miles, so it needed it. LOL Thanks for your comment. Gonzo

Sure, I could rust it up for you, even put a few dents in it if you like. Gonzo
