1909 Vernor's Delivery Wagon

My dear friend Shelly's birthday was in February. Of course I called her and she asked if I still drank diet Vernors (they lost the apostrophe a few years back). You see Shelly is a Michigander, so Vernors is a staple she introduced me to back in the early 80's.

Then I got the flu and when I stopped at the Walmart Neighborhood Market, they had some.

Years ago, I had thought of doing a model of either the original drugstore or the old 1890's headquarters, but then I found an old photo of a 1909 Delivery Wagon

And an old postcard with a partial view of a wagon that let me know that my colors from the old ad signs was close

I decided not to try to do a compound curved roof, but I think it looks pretty good






This was only a WIP build, but between too many jobs, the flu, bronchitis, and other real life things, I lost interest, but still decided I needed to finish it
