These Oldsmobile models were built from castings sent to David Johnson by Nick Voges.   The 1950 Olds 88 Rocket had very thin windows which David drilled out, then used clear tape to make the glass. The hollow body fit over the chassis and interior from a Woodland Scenics '50s (Bel Air) coupe. Paint is Modelmaster Acryl Dark Green Pearl, airbrushed over gray primer. 

For the 1953 Olds 98 David used colors selected by Olds for advertisements. Tires are Busch whitewalls repainted to wide whitewalls. Much of the ample chrome on both models is Bare Metal Foil. The '69 Olds 4-4-2 in the family portrait at the bottom is from Model Power.
