Corgi NMMM Reo Forward Tilt?

Received my Corgi NMMM Reo today. Nice, small model.

But what's up with the seeming forward tilt, with the rear axle looking higher than the front?

Kind of a hot-rod look.

Is this possibly prototypically correct, if larger wheels or tires were used than the front wheels??? Or just an outright goof?

The Corgi NMMM Maxim has a similar problem, with the rear a bit higher than the front. Took mine apart, but couldn't see an easy way to fix it.

Question for Corgi: will the Classics releases of the Maxim and Reo be retooled in any slight way to correct this? I know, stop laughing...

Re: Corgi NMMM Reo Forward Tilt?

The wheels are the same size. Look how the fenders sit above them. Is a great model. Yes it is small. I have it by a Corgi brush truck. Big difference.
