CLASSIC cars have been reenvisioned as miniature versions and collected in a ‘dwarf car’ museum. Ernie Adams, of Maricopa, Arizona, has been creating his incredible scaled-down replicas of full-size cars since 1965, starting with his version of a 1928 Chevy two-door sedan. The original car, known as ‘Grandpa Dwarf’, was made out of nine old refrigerators and is still running today. Since then, Ernie, now in his late-70s, has made hundreds of 11/16th scale dwarf cars, from racers to cruisers - all fully drivable and road-legal. One of the gems of his collection is his take on the 1949 Mercury two-door coupe, which he built entirely from scratch using flat sheet metal.

This thing is amazing. I can’t believe how well it resembles the real thing. It looks to be about 1/4 scale and without anything to reference it’s size it looks like it’s full size.

It's bigger than that. You'd have to be 18 inches tall to drive 1/4 scale car.

more like 3/4 scale I built an 80's era 2/3 scale Indy car many years ago in an Automotive engineering class, and only a slim child would fit into it.

I have 11 cars, ranging from a 1972 Ford Escort MK1 to a Scoda Fabia run about. Ive rebuilt all the old ones myself. When i go to car shows most of the cars there i could manage with time. But this mans builds, I wouldn't even know where to start. To have built every single item of every single car is truly astonishing!
