The Natural Beauty of Wooden Models

Filed in archive Model Cars by Philip Powell on April 9, 2006

1960 GMC Stake

There are model cars, and then there are hand-crafted, special-order models created by artisans who specialise in "one-of-a-kind" custom jobs. Gordon Collectibles is unique in that the company builds from wood, in any desired scale, with the average model about 18 inches in length. Although the Indianapolislinks firm specialises in classic trucks it displays an equal passion for cars, trains and planes. With over thirty years of designing and building, George Gordon is a skilled craftsman with an eye for detail. He's modelled everything from Diamond T pickups, to Divco milk trucks, to chain-drive coal haulers, to West Coast-style Peterbilt tractors. I'd order a log-hauler such as we have in BC's forest industry. Softwood lumber dispute notwithstanding.
