When I met my husband Bob in 1984, all he talked about was one day owning his very on 40's Willy's Coup in Candy Apple Red.....
I gave him the apple of his eye for his birthday in 1985.
Sigh........
A. Yellow not red
B. It is only 4 inches long...
He drove it a few times in my PIP app roadway and I PIP-snapped a few shots for him to stir up memories
And his dream car floated off into never-never land.
The TOY now lives in the garage with his Dale Earnhardt Photo, his dog photos, a rubber lizard, snake and shark.
All on the same shelf.
Such is Life. He has the PIP of a life with ME thus no need for a 40's Willy's Coup

It is adorable, and he is a LUCKY man!!! For a tiny car, it sure goes on a lot of adventures! It is the APPLE of his eye, and why not. Not many cars can drive on a leaf or are the star joker, and go on a balloon ride. But best of all is YOU...up up and AWAY!!!! Reach for the stars, and snap them when you get there. Madly, of course...
A little bit of candy apple red paint could quickly turn that little car in to the car of his dreams. Changing the size is going to be a little trickier though :)
You're a better prize than some old car anyway
Hello, it is a cute car. I have to admit I am not a car enthusiast. I do not know much about the vintage cars. I like your hot air balloon edits. Happy Saturday! Wishing you a happy weekend!
And we are sure you are HIS candy APPLE, love this post hugs Madi and mom
Cute!
I'm sure it has lasted longer than the real thing... And it needed no maintenance... :)
You are a real PIP (HOOT), lol. I smile every time I see your creations. They are always very cleverly done. I am enjoying mine too and have used a couple on my blog. Loved Bob's three inch car. I always wanted a Model T Ford. I used to see these rusted out shells in North Dakota on the family homestead and could truly have taken one home with me if I could. I loved those rusty old things and could imagine the family driving them way back when in their younger years, beautiful even in that state. I am sure Bob thinks a lot of this model, maybe I ought to look for one of my own :)
Very cool pictures.
I love old cars! I like Bob's old car. Nice job.
At least you thought of him and knew what he wanted...even if you only gave him a miniature verson!
How is the surgery spot looking?
That's such a cute and thought-full gift! :) Never mind its size, I'd wager the memory of that birthday makes him smile every time he sees it. (Not a bad rep, getting to share space with Dale Earnhardt!)
TeeHeeHee...I love having fun with miniatures and love Bob's dream car!!
I bet Bob loves that car...what a thoughtful gift. Love all of your work in pics with the car, apple and you. Hugs
