My model was seen in March 1962
Car Craft Magazine.
I was actually hired to build this model. I was offered $10 and the '59 Chevy annual would be supplied and I donated the '25 'T" bucket. But after getting into it I decided to buy out the project. I sent a photo to Car Craft because I thought they would like to see it. Car Craft published the photo to my surprise.
April 1960 Car Craft
My model was based on the sketches by Larry Evans and Jim Gilbert.
Colorized digital composite, in local surroundings
Released in late 1960 the 1925 Double T
The original photo with plexiglass 'spokes' and house wiring tires. Motorcycle wheels simply weren't available in 1961.
A recent archive aquisition. I ran across the original negatives that are from the same photo session that made the Car Craft Magazine.
The SMP annual 1959 Chevy convertibl kit.
My first published photo. I made the readers section in the March 1962 Car Craft magazine. Car Craft sent me a copy before it was on the news stands. I was thrilled. This, by the way, predates the July '62 premier issue of Car Model Magazine.
