I wanted to get some history on this old FM repaint but this new format for Lists and Reviews has got me baffled so far. I wish they could have kept the old format. All I remember is that it was it was commissioned by some gift shop. anyway, it's a really nice color combo.

The model was commissioned by Tinder Box. Vickies Gifts did the West Coast Precision Models.

I have this model and it is really a knockout! Beautiful from bumper to bumper in a spectacular two-tone Blue color combination.

One of the most beautiful cars ever ! My grandparents had a 1955 Pontiac 4 door sedan in these same colors. It was still running strong at least a decade later and I still have a couple of small Dupli-Color touch up paint bottles from back then in those colors.
