Corgi vs Lone Star. Restoration of 1960s Chevrolet Corviar models.

[@shanethompson2915]

Absolutely fantastic from scrap yard to showroom finish. Well do 10 out of 10.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@misterscaz6011]

I had a 1964 Corvair (black) that I restored back in the 1980s. I used to drive it to school (college). Loved that car. Handled great in the snow. Ralph Nader didn't know what he was talking about. The original Karen.

[@hrdley911]

I'd never heard of Lone Star models before. Excellent job as usual!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Conjunto inclivemete espetacular lindo demais mesmo ❤❤❤❤lindíssima beautiful Love CHEVORLE corviar

Chev CORVAIR... Oto był wtedy NSU PRINZ... 😁 (Te samochody rzeczywiście mają ze sobą wiele wspólnego. Silnik z tyłu/napęd na tył i kształt zewnętrzny) No cóż... który podoba mi się bardziej? Corgi czy Samotna Gwiazda? 🤔 Nie było tu Samotnej Gwiazdy; Nadal znam corgi. 😏 Obydwa modele są rewelacyjne, ale ostatecznie trzeba przyznać, że wyścig wygrały nieco bardziej rozbudowane możliwości Corgi. W każdym razie dwa kciuki w górę 👍🏼 👍🏼 i dziękuję za udostępnienie 🙏🏼 Tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😉 Życzę miłego tygodnia Tobie i Twojej rodzinie, bądźcie zdrowi i pogodni. Pozdrowienia ze słonecznego końca Łaby, czyli latarni morskiej. 👍🏼🇵🇱😎🍻🤠🇩🇪👍🏼 Chev CORVAIR... Here it was the NSU PRINZ back then... 😁 (The cars actually have a lot in common. Rear engine/rear drive and the external shape) Well... which one do I like better? Corgi or Lone Star? 🤔 There was no Lone Star here; I still know the corgi. 😏 Both models are superb, but in the end I have to admit, the slightly more extensive features of the Corgi won the race. In any case, both thumbs up for it 👍🏼 👍🏼 and thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼 Keep it up mate 😉 Have a nice week to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Greetings from the sunny lighthouse end of the Elbe river. 👍🏼🇵🇱😎🍻🤠🇩🇪👍🏼 Chev CORVAIR... Hier war das, damals, der NSU PRINZ... 😁 (Die Autos haben tatsächlich vieles gemeinsam. Heckmotor/Heckantrieb und die äußere Form) Tja... welcher gefällt mir besser? Corgi oder Lone Star? 🤔 Lone Star gab's hier nicht; den Corgi kenn ich noch. 😏 Beide Modelle sind superb, doch am Ende muss ich zugeben, die etwas umfangreichere Ausstattung des Corgi hat das Rennen gemacht. In jedem Fall beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼 und vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼 Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉 Dir und deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund und munter. Gruß vom sonnigen Leuchtturmende der Elbe. 👍🏼🇵🇱😎🍻🤠🇩🇪👍🏼

Two more fantastic restorations. I really like the colors and recovered models. Great day Paul!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@Willshit71]

Wow!! awesome restoration work Paul !

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@geo2cv6tron14]

It's interesting to see the differences between 2 brands of the same model 🤩👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@frasermartin6728]

Funny how so many of the toy car manufacturers had parallel products over the formative years - must have been something to do with licensing, or maybe the absence of it... these two look excellent, and despite quite a differentiation on claimed scale, look remarkably alike in many ways. Nice choice of subject, and brilliant work, as usual!

[@markrigg7038]

You did a great job on both, however, the corgi is a lot more accurate with the correct wheel size and detail, well done Paul 👍👍👍

[@carmium]

Indeed, I know it's a resto, but I'd have been tempted to at least trade those silly white truck tires for a spare set of Corgi or Dinky wheels and tires!

[@kir_kras]

Наглядный сравнительный анализ с детальным погружением в тему🙂👍

[@PaulRestorer]

большое спасибо

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice restorations, details and paint jobs 👌 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@steppoify]

Outstanding double restoration! Lonestar and Corgi Corvairs, side by side. A better illustration of the differences between the two versions one couldn't ask for. I don't own a Lonestar car in my Collection. The design elements of each car speaks for itself as to the effort made in each company for their price point. I feel the Corgi was the better, and more accurate representation of the Corvair. A car that was vilified by Ralph Nader in his book, "Unsafe At Any Speed." Carbon monoxide from the exhaust system and aerodynamic design asphyxiated drivers to sleep and caused crashes. My Front Office Manager, Dena, had a black convertible Corvair with a red interior. It was sexy!! I enjoyed getting a ride in it a couple times!! Beautiful job on both models, Maestro!! ❤❤ Best, Stephen

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Stephen

[@JandeBloois1952]

Great job! My ex-neighbour restored the Dinky version of the Corvair. I filmed this restoration process in my film ‘1:43’.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Hello Paul, 2 different manufacturers cars,both look great,top work on both of them.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@pavelkoudele5526]

Ahoj Pavle. Model od Corgi je výrazně detailnější, než model od Lone Star. Lone Star ma moc velké a divné pneumatiky. Pěkné srovnání dvou modelů stejného typu vozů. Diky, zdravím Pavel 🇨🇿

[@moedasmais]

Parabéns meu amigo, ótimo trabalho! Ambos ficaram lindos. 👏👏👏👍

[@rjung_ch]

I love the Corvair, such a very nice restore. 👍💪✌

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@PirataDesign]

Molto originale l' idea di proporre in parallelo 2 restauri di uno stesso modello di auto realizzato da 2 aziende diverse. Restauri, come sempre accade in questo che reputo il migliore canale di questo tema, portati a termine in modo perfetto, personale e curato. Secondo te, quale tra i 2 modelli è realizzato meglio? A me sembra che quello Corgi sia più definito. Mi sbaglio? Un saluto caloroso, Paul

[@Diecastoutlaw]

Excellent work on them 2 paul well done 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@martindaredare]

Great comparison video paul, and an excellent restoration on both ,all the best Martin

[@bubygorgocoleccionablesarg8368]

Doskonała renowacja obu modeli, myślę, że ta wykonana przez Corgi jest najbardziej realistyczna, gratulacje!

Thank you very much

[@leximatic]

Great video. I think Corgi did a better job on this model, the proportions of the Lonestar seem to look a bit off, although it's charming somehow, too; but the best job is your's, as always.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

[@joramamodellbau3987]

Beide Modellvarianten haben ihren Reiz. Die Restaurierung ist exzellent gelungen. Durch den öffenbaren Kofferraum ist das Gorgi-Modell vielleicht etwas interessanter. In jedem Fall dürften beide Modelle Sammlöer sehr interessieren. Gruß, Joachim Obydwa warianty modelu mają swój urok. Renowacja była doskonała. Model Gorgi jest chyba trochę ciekawszy ze względu na otwierany bagażnik. W każdym razie oba modele powinny wzbudzić duże zainteresowanie kolekcjonerów. Pozdrawiam, Joachim

Great job on both Corvairs Paul , the red one does look like a Cartoon version with over sized white wheels 😅😅

Interesting comparison. details, size, the work put into the model, and so on; it's obvious they were different price cathegories. the Lone Star is more 1:45 scale than 1:50, they insisted on putting the incorrect scale onto the baseplates for unknown reasons. then again who really cares. :)

Bonjour, quelles sont les types de peintures utiliser ? Merci de votre réponse

[@PaulRestorer]

Bonjour, j'utilise des peintures acryliques en aérosol pour voiture de la société néerlandaise Best Finish. Comme apprêt, j'utilise un apprêt époxy anti-corrosion polonais de chez App. Enfin, je peins avec du vernis acrylique avec durcisseur de chez App.

This is as cool as watching Santa Clause being born.

[@CraigCaldwell-ln5zf]

A C-section was not an option in the contract.

[@sdavifcom]

Hello Paul. Big fan of your work. Also, don't know if you can make corrections, but it's CorvAIr and not Corviar...

[@Bazza.baz224]

Errrrr No - Try looking at Chevrolet museum, Corsair owners clubs, Chevrolet, Wikipedia, any classic car auction site, Corsair owners manual..... The list goes on

[@CraigCaldwell-ln5zf]

"Unsafe At Any Speed" was Corvair's reputation!
