Diecast Model Cars

Thomas J. Bolton, Smiths Falls, Ontario, modified a 1949 Plymouth to resemble “Greased Lighting,” John Travolta’s car in the musical “Grease.” Purple dice hung from the rearview mirror and a diecast model sat on the hood.

Slicking back his hair, Mr. Bolton admitted he had dressed for the part in black pants, a black leather vest and dark glasses.
