This late-1930's American-styled coupe car model is heavily modified and recolored from these free police car instructions as seen at this Rebrickable MOC by user Leewan. I remade it into both yellow (not shown) and blue varieties from the original black-and-white, removed the doors, and revised some other stuff "under the hood". Also, the model bears a resemblance to the titular car from the 1952 Disney short film 'Susie the little blue coupe'.

The front of the car.

The rear of the car.

The inside can seat two figures and the roof is removable.

(Picture from Wikipedia - the short's music is still under copyright, but the pictures are not, strangely!) I couldn't do the radio antenna on my MOC, as it changes sides on the car from scene to scene. Also, I couldn't get the eyes on the windscreen.

Fun facts:

- The design of the Disney / Pixar 'Cars universe' characters was inspired by Susie.

- Bill Peet wrote the story treatment for Susie the little blue coupe. (he was quite prolific as a writer and animator for Disney, see his wiki page) Later, he also write the book 'The Caboose Who got Loose', another one of my favorite books - and MOC's!

 

...and that's all I got. Thoughts, comments, suggestions and questions are appreciated!

Thanks you @P6tu and @Darkkostas25! However, I must mention again this is not totally my MOC, but a modification of another person's MOC, as stated in the description.
