Some time ago I made a 1932 Ford Model B Sedan Delivery from the old AMT kit. The model was build as a stock ’32 Ford Model B. I was looking for some kind of decals to put on the side of the car and found some nice ones in the AMT 1937 Ford Panel Delivery kit, the Olympic Laundry decals.

A few months later I decided to put together a 1923 Ford Model T Delivery Van from all the spare Model T Delivery Van parts. I had received some extra parts from a fellow model builder so I could use those too. I was thinking about a color scheme for that model and remembered the nice color combination I used on the ’32 Ford Model B, maroon fenders with an off-white body. And wouldn’t it be nice to use the same Olympic Laundry decals again? Old and new, a 1923 and a 1932 Ford from the same company. Ofcourse I needed another set of the decals so I went ‘shopping’ in my stash of kits. I noticed that I had several other kits from Ford Delivery Vans, the 1937 Ford Panel Delivery and a 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery, all Revell kits I bought some time ago.

And then I suddenly had an idea: why not build a complete fleet of Olympic Laundry cars. All with the same decals, all with the same color scheme!

Well, it did take some months, but soon I ‘owned’ a complete fleet of Ford Delivery cars from the Olympic Laundry Company.

However, there was a ‘missing link’ between the 1923 and 1932 model: the 1928-29 Model A. And a problem too: nobody ever made a model kit for the 1928-1929 Ford Model A Panel Delivery. So I decided to convert a Revell kit from a Model A Pickup to a 1928 Ford Model A Panel Delivery model. The cab was slightly modified and received a delivery rear section which was completely scrap build with Evergreen styrene sheets and strips.

And here is the result!
