In practice
Where it goes
Period street elevations set in the 1950s, diner facades and classic-car museum sections take this open roadster; the wraparound windshield is the detail that places it. Put it on the forecourt elevation of a vintage gas station or under the canopy of a drive-in, and in a section through a car showroom with a mezzanine.
Clearances to leave
The 15 ft (458 cm) length fits a 18 ft (550 cm) stall with 18 in (46 cm) spare at each end; on a display plinth leave 39 in (100 cm) all around so the open cockpit can be viewed. Height is 53 in (134 cm) to the windshield top; a 7 ft (213 cm) canopy clears it with room for signage.
Pairs with
Line it up with the 1960s open roadster with roll hoop and wire wheels on a diner forecourt elevation, with Tall figure posing with hand on hip, legs crossed beside the passenger door. A striped canopy edge and a neon sign outline frame the pair.
