Here's an updated look at another of DMs wonderful Mopar models. Today I think this has become a fairly rare item with many if not all of them coming from DM with varying degrees of paint rash. Mine has some as well, minimal. I polished most of it out years ago, but some more has developed, very slight. I'm not sure my hands are steady enough to deal with it now.

Of all of the Danbury Mint Plymouths, I like this one the best.  Great pics as always John!

I wanted this one so bad. The many diecast rot issues kept me away. Good ones are extremely rare AND pricey.😟

I wish I had tried to get one of these but the rash thing threw me off.  I really like it.

Beautiful model and pics, John. It's another car that I wasn't crazy about it in 1958, but 60 odd years later, I'm sorry I didn't buy the model.

@geno The rot issues seemed to match the rust issues on the 1/1.

@bob-jackman 🤣😂, they're still beautiful automobiles.😊 I looked for this one on Ebay yesterday after seeing John's. The ones listed had various states of rash/rot, and they're still pricey. More than I'd pay knowing it may start falling apart in the near future. 😟

@geno I agree Geno they are beautiful models. I must have thought so as I have them all.
