New resin from Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland.
Donor kit is Revell 5-window '32 Ford. Cowl lights added from the '32 Sedan kit. All '32 Ford cabriolets were rumble seat cars. I did NOT make a working rumble seat but I added the step pads (photoetched brake pedals on plastic pieces painted flat black) and the grab rails from an AMT '29 Model A kit.
Wheels are from the latest reissue of the Monogram '30 Phaeton. Model Car Garage photoetched horizontal grille. Hood side vents are 1/200th scale stairway handrails from Plastruct with Bare Metal Foil.

BTW - I've reached a milestone. This is the 32nd. Revell-based '32 Ford I've built since the first kit was introduced in 1996.

Congrats! Lovely. Extraordinarily tasty details. Love the wood trim on the interior and the steps to the rumble seat. Is that a mesh p/e grill?
