Gifted and Talented?

[Chuck Kramer]

Looking for a gifted and talented individual to design and market a 1:18 scale removable flower tray which could be placed on a 1:18 scale Yatming/Road Signature 1957 Ford Ranchero! The book American Funeral Cars & Ambulances since 1900, page 277, lower right hand corner shows a photo of and references a Pickway Flower Car produced by the Miller-Pickway Corp. of Johnston, Pa. and based on a 1957 Ford Ranchero. Plenty of the 1:18 scale Ford Rancheros for sale, we just need a bed compartment cover!

Tinkerer and thinker.

Unfortunately, I am not much of a modeler myself so I can't help you with the flower deck. I like how you put it in the other thread and I agree with you.. I don't model much, I tinker a little.

It's kinda funny that you mention the Pickway though. If you need any photos of the real thing to go on, I know where an original 1:1 1958 Pickway Ranchero is and could get a few photos for you within a week or so of the request. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of it at all right now :( .

If you do get a nice flower deck made for that, I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of it.

Good luck in your search for a quality modeler.

This would be a perfect project for an ORTHODONTIST to play with! I'm sure the Good DR. would have all the tools, wires and clips, just needs to come up with a bed cover!

Try Chris Mooney in the modeling section of the site. He is a master.

PS: I'll take one for my flower car.

I think I have one here to. if I remember right this car was offered in a raffal in kingsport.

Gentlemen, if someone can photograph a existing Ford Pickway for details (especially good side profile of the deck) that I can use to model with I think I can help out. No promises right now I have other people waiting in line for builtups but I believe I can squeeze in the project sometime. First I have to find a cheap 57 Ford model out there.

Keep checking ebay diecast for buy-it-now prices. 1:18 scale 1957 Ford Ranchero or 1957 Ford Courier for a Service Car. The shipping is what is expensive. Either of them should be available in car show swap areas. Anxious to see what you have come up with!

These are from the PCS issue #11 1979 .
