Here we are on the 1st of May, unfortunately here in Michigan, the weather is not much better than in March. While my grass is super green, the air is cold. Rain all day and snow flurries for this evening. The hint of spring is out there, but for the next couple of days, you'll have to look for it.

To help with the effort of looking, here's a wonderful model from DM, and a favorite of mine. 

1957 Chrysler 300C Convertible in Cloud White - issued in 1998.

1957 Chrysler 300C Conv 2 0
1957 Chrysler 300C Conv 2 1
1957 Chrysler 300C Conv 2 2
1957 Chrysler 300C Conv 2 4

1957 Chrysler 300C Conv 2 6

A favorite of mine too John. GREAT pics! I think the Gauguin Red may be tied with it.

Beautiful shots John, thanks. A real favorite of my mine too. There was a 1:1 in my previous suburb where I would occasionally spot it out early on Sunday mornings, and when I first found D4C 20+ years ago, this model had been voted model of the year! Tracked one down on ebay soon after.

Since the day I took this car out of the box it arrived in, it has been a favorite on my shelf.  Also the red version of the model is equally a favorite.  Great pics John.
