1950 Plymouth 1953 Chevrolet Station Wagons PMC 1-20 Scale Model.MP4

Description

Here are two models from the early 1950's made by the Product Miniature Co., Inc.

The second is a 1953 Chevrolet Handyman ("Handyman" is written with stencil on the roof) station wagon, in base trim level identical to their 150 series in the sedans.
