I actually really like old cars and trucks which have been 'customized' by previous owners. Back in the day there were no fancy spot-on perfect diecast replicas and nearly everything you bought was either one solid color or perhaps there was some sloppy (by today's standards) overlay of silver as we've seen on many of the vehicles shown here on the blog. Occasionally they would be molded in several colors, like the Gilmark Build-A-Cars featured recently but by-and-large what ya got was a solid colored body with black, silver, or white wheels. Today's Renwal bus from the '50s is all yellow with white wheels with details added later in red. It measures 4.5" (10.16cm) L. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
