Well, found on Shapeways anyway!

Check it out:

The car.


And the model.







Honestly, it gave me chills as I was finishing it up last night. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Is that the Rails N Scale one? I will probably get a couple of those too but what I really want is a 122 Amazon. My dad still drives his, and it's the car I got started in rail fanning.

Ew.  I hope he got the protective coating on the seats.

Lol, that was the next one. This thing had an armor plated roof.

That's a bummer. If it were another 245, I might be into it.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Is it by chance a T5 or 850R?

You had me at Volvo. 245 none the less. Great find.

I'm without one currently. Restored a lovely '79 245DL and part-finished a rebuild of an '88. By far, the older of the two was more fun and way more missed. Live on Garfield (who doesn't name their cars right?)
