Old Wheels

[Pat_craft]

Recently, I build a couple of old papercrafts. All of them are from the 50' and all of them are french advertising models.

Do you know models like those in your country ? It will be great, if I could have some of them !!

Those look like fun. Not familiar with any here, but then I haven't been doing this for very long. Once again a big thank you for your Bugatti Tank.

There are some Chick-Fil-A models available.

Probably the closest thing you will be able to find is Cereal box models. There are a few sites that have them. We don't have a site like Agence Eureka that compiles American classic advertising. At least I haven't found one.

Steak n Shake down in Florida has one that they give to kids. I know, I built one in the hotel room on my last vacation (about 3 months ago). It's there sponsered race car.

Back in the early/mid 1950s, most of the car dealerships had paper models for advertizing. I remember driving my dad nuts asking him to test drive a Studebaker so I could get the model they gave away....it was of a Studebaker dealership (complete with a maintenance dept and a working car elevator), along with about a half dozen cars, including some antiques. Unfortunately, the only place you can find them is occasionally on Ebay, and they don't go cheap.

Back in the 1950s, there was a model car on the back of every Weetabix carton. I couldn't stand the stuff, but I ate a pack every week just to get the models. I had dozens of them, but ... I seem to remember as a ten year old, I developed a fascination with fire ... and one at a time they all went up in smoke.

I do have a rather neat set of 25 Veteran cars, issued by Shell in France, that I gleened from a blog somewhere whilst surfing.

I believe Agence Eureka, whose Flickr account this is, is the source of the models that started this thread ...

Thanks for the link, rickstef

It would be great if someone did the same thing than Agence Eureka in other countries !
