1955 Buick Roadmaster four door sedan.
I designed and built this several weeks ago.
The first layer of the model's structure is 110 lb. cardstock, covered with white construction paper, on which I printed the visual features. It's colored with crayon. The wheels roll, and are each made from two corrugated cardboard discs, covered with cardstock. The axles are 1/8th inch diameter skewer sticks.

Very nice. I always liked your distinctive classics. You manage to capture the essence of every car you choose to model. The use of a crayon for coloring is a bit of a departure from the other builds I've seen here. I remember colored paper and metal foils.

Using a crayon is a bit primitive, I'll admit, but where else can you find 100 colors to choose from for $5.00?
It's a fun, easy way to apply multiple colors to a car's body, without getting too tedious. I also find it very relaxing, almost therapeutic, because there is something about coloring that settles a person's nerves. Now I understand why crayons and paper are given to kids for the purpose of settling them down, particularly in doctors' offices, or even in restaurants.
