Count me in, Cami. So if I understand you correctly, you're looking to build a vintage "style" car, but not a model of an actual vehicle. Like Sr Vigara, you want to bring together the "best" design elements from the period, and make a composite vehicle that pulls them together. I think 1/24 is a popular car scale, and folks like me who like to build small can easily shrink it down (easier than blowing up a small model). Running boards, hard cased spare tires mounted behind the front fenders (like a 40 Buick), wood panelling the sides, Pierce Arrow style headlights. 2-tone paint, wide white walls, fender skirts in the rear. Sun visor ....hey, this is fun.
