Last year I made a 1932 Ford Model B Sedan Delivery with the Olympic Laundry decals from the 1937 Ford Panel Delivery. A few months ago I did the same with a 1923 Ford Model T Delivery Van.

Shortly after that I decided to have a go at a 1928 Ford Model A Panel Delivery. When I was building that car, I suddenly had the idea to build a complete fleet of Olympic Laundry cars. All with the same decals! Well, here is the result:

Here is the 1923 Ford Model T Delivery Van I made this year:

And here is the 1932 Ford Model B Sedan Delivery I made last year:

The 1928 Ford Model A Panel Delivery was based on a 1929 Ford Model A Pickup. Unfortunately the cabin of that kit was very warped (the kit was new and shrink wrapped, but the parts were stashed wrong in the box) and to get it in shape I had no other option than to glue the the doors in place to get some decent shape in the body. The rear section was scrap build with Evergreen styrene. I did take some time before I found some large pictures with a rear view from the panel delivery car, but eventually I got hold of them. Rather essential, as I didn't had a clue how the rear doors looked.

And here is the result:

The 1937 Panel Delivery was build out of the box. The only things I added were the two horns on the front from R&D Unique:

The 1940 Sedan Delivery was also an out of the box build:
