Hello friends, This is my playmobil limousine. It is made from the vintage auto 5620.
The passenger compartment is made of thin plywood, and the seats from hardwood.
The frame was lengthened to accommodate the longer body. The hood and frame/fenders are original Playmobile parts.

Very Posh,
Again James you have created a beautiful looking vehicle, I really like the colour. :)
-
That's a beautiful custom, James. :wow: Now you need a chauffeur for it. :)
-
Great custom there and can not tell at all that the body was extended ,
looks like an original
Cheers

That really is wonderful. I too love that blue color.
-
What more can be said?
you make beautiful customs.
I cant tell where the playmo ends and the custom begins.
Its clear you take a lot of time in planning and designing (the sign of a good engineer).
Your work is outstanding.
we are pleased that you share your creations with us.

Another fabulously stylish conversion! :wow:
I always wished there was a wider variety of vehicles available to complement the Victorian theme, and now we can all see how these would have looked, thanks to your skill and creativity. :yup:
Of course, I'm really hoping that you still have several more Victorian conversions up your sleeve, but how many 'spare' Old Timers or vintage delivery trucks can one person possibly own? ;)
Thanks for sharing this with us, James. :)9

"To the office, James" ;D

BEAUTIFUL, James ... :wow: ... :wow: ... :wow:
I'm sure that most of us are probably wondering where you keep getting ... what seems to be an endless supply of vehicles ... ;)
All the best,
Richard

Thank you all for the encouraging remarks. I have only three original trucks remaining to customize. I don't have any more cars though, I didn't like the way the klickys had to half stand, half sit in the seat, so I only purchased them for specific customs.
Thanks again, and all the best,
Jim

Wow great looking Limo :)9 I guess i never really thought about it until recently on a job bid . I gained access to the old barn to find a pile of fenders and wooden rims w/tires . I did not realize some of these cars had solid wheels . what a rough ride on a cobble stone street. There were a few semi complete ( beyond repair ) cars in the bushes as well and i thought of bringing them home, painting them playmobil colors and fitting the full size figures inside . Maybe i could send them to you and you could put your talents to full size work ;)
Thanks again for sharing you beautiful creation :wow:

Thanks, everyone. That was a fun project.
I wish I had a few more vintage autos to customize. :yup:
I do have a full size vintage auto, not a limo though. It is a 1931
Ford Model A Coupe. Had it for over 50 years. (It was my first car).
Best regards,
Jimbo

Wow! I don't know how this got by me. I wouldn't have believed that was made out of wood unless you had mentioned it, Jimbo. This is really a superb job. Man, it looks amazing. Great job. :wow:
I bet you have a lot of fun with the real one too. You know, most people wouldn't think of keeping their first car. That's neat. A neighbor of mine has a Model A, I can't recall the year, but it's amazing to see.
