1950 Olds restyle
by ozmodeler Sun 09 Aug 2020, 3:01 pm
I've always liked the 1949-50 Oldsmobile coupe, but to me it looked a bit bulky in the middle. I decided to use Revell's excellent kit as a styling exercise. I removed 3 scale inches around the
body's widest point to help line-up the two parts back together, removed the chrome molds and door handles replaced the busy Olds headlights with frenched '50 chevy lights.
Overall I think I achieved a sleeker looking car without losing it's identity. What do you think?

Absolutely a great piece of work! That car would look awesome in real life!.
In my opinion I would "French" the headlights to accent the custom work.
But never the less a great job!... well done!..
