Paddy I believe the text in white starting from just in front of the front door says:

FORD REPRESENTATIVE "BUCK" LILIENTHAL

"Buck would be Robert Lilienthal's nickname.
I hope this helps.
Dwayne.

Bravo Dwayne!

Hi Paddy
I was wondering if you saw my post about the text on the Ford Customline and if it was of any help.

Has anyone some news on Ennio ?
Dwayne.

After watching the video many times, I'm not convinced of your idea,but thanks anyway
I'm almost sure, that the first word is Piloto
Before TIVE I seem to see MO
In short, it will have to be left as impossible, I think

1950 ? Secondo i miei dati, se è dalla prima edizione, dovrebbe essere una Chrysler del 1950, ma per la foto sembra un modello più vecchio e non sono sicuro che sia una Chrysler
Forse non è Panamericana?

Hi Paddy
When you advance the video very slowly frame by frame, it is not 100% clear, but I can see the word FORD, it is to short for the word PILOTO.
With the word ending in TIVE, again go very slowly with the video, the word AUTOMOTIVE would be to short compared to word that is there.
I believe REPRESENTATIVE is the right length, from what I understand mechanics shops could represent the major car companies in the 1950's.
This of course just my humble opinion.
Dwayne.
PS: Your photo of the Jacqueline Evans car, the front mudguard looks a lot like a Ford Mercury Coupe.

Hello friends
Can anyone help with photos of this Chev Belair from the 1954 Carrera driven by Larocca/Aguilar.
The door numbers look to be yellow or white on a black background ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm building this car.
Thank you in advance for your support and help.
Dwayne.

Special Series Stock Category = Yellow number

Thank you so much Paddy for the information.
And also for the name on the roof.
I could see a text in the video, but you have confirmed the country for me.
You are always a help to us all.
Dwayne.

Hello..................is anyone there ??
Everyone has disappeared from the Forum, are you all on holidays ?
Just an update on Ennio.
As you know on April 17th, I sent a letter (in Italian) to Ennio's home address.
In the letter was my email address also, so that anyone could contact me that way.
I am sad to say that I have had no reply to this letter, or an email.
I just thought that anyone interested would like to know.
Dwayne.

La partecipazione al Forum è effettivamente diminuita. Grazie per l' aggiornamento, anche se purtroppo l' assenza di Ennio continua. Continuo a sperare di leggere di nuovo i suoi puntuali e competenti interventi.

Grazie Dwayne, speriamo tutti di rileggere presto il buon Ennio qui sul forum.
In effetti la partecipazione è un po' diminuita, sarà forse colpa del caldo o del fatto che le vacanze si approssimano o di chissà cos'altro?

We all like to look at photos of model cars, that is our interest.
So with your permission, and while the Carrera is quiet, I would like to show you photos of some of my models.
These are just some I have built over many years, most have full interior details, seat belts with buckles etc.
Your comments are welcome.

Ma che belle, Dwayne! Io prediligo auto più moderne ma queste mi piacciono molto, hai fatto dei buoni montaggi e delle buone foto...

Thank you for your kind words Elio.
I might post some modern cars just for you another time.
