Dodge Power Wagon. Each entry must include at least two, but no more
than four, different views of the model. Photographs may be digitally
adjusted to improve brightness or contrast but may not be manipulated
to include elements not present on the physical model. You may enter
as many times as you wish, but you will be eligible to win only one
prize (see Rule 12).
3. You may modify the model any way you wish but either
(a) the original cab to the cowl and interior or (b) hood, radiator
and front fenders must be recognizable after any modification as
coming from the Busch No. 44000 Dodge Power Wagon.

suitable for viewers of any age.
