Looks like a weigh in for the T-Bird. I'm guessing at one of the lake bed races.

I think having the gal posing next to the car was a cleverly thought out ploy to make the car seem lighter as no one in their right mind is going to ask the gal in question to verify her weight to clarify the difference between the known weight of the measured weight at the scale.

found it. you're probably right. the crackle paint wood it's on, the chain saw chrome guard is a bit oversized, ax head looks maybe too fresh, but it's super nice display to me.

It has to be a model. The door handles don't sag.
