That shoebox's proportions are perfect. Here in the UK we constantly had to put up with squished/shortened/disproportioned versions of US car designs. Our equivalent '50's Ford Zephyr/Zodiac/Consul range perfectly illustrates this practice. There were countless others. None looked as good as their US inspirations.

Thanks Pete, I have had a lot of people complement on restoring a four door, several have said four door cars are hard to find. The first car show we took it to I won most original restore, this was voted on by all the other car owners at the show, that let me know we did a pretty good job.

This is the stoopidest thing ever!!!
If you get in an accident, this thing will shatter & turn into a XXXL molotov cocktail!!!

Norm I was making fun of the guys like me that need glasses to check the fuel level, unless it’s shatter proof it would be dangerous.

I hope that’s a joke as I took it, but as the old saying goes, there’s always one in the crowd that will try it.

Definitely at the opposite end of the spectrum to the cast brass stuff Dennis made.
My model train kits featured a lot of lost wax brass investment castings.
Still have all the master patterns for many hundreds of similar tiny detail components I made over the last thirty years.

You know truck nuts? Sorry, ladies. I saw my first bicycle balls today. They were these 2 plastic balls on a string swinging below the seat of a road bike. Never seen that.
