Have it, love it!  Such a nice two-tone color combo!  Also have the Black version, two very nice models from DM.  Great pics John!

I only have the black version and it is a superb model. What a sensational color change from the black. No hope of ever finding one now. Great presentation, thanks John

I don't remember ever seeing this one in their catalogs.  Oh well I missed a good one.

I don't recall if it ever was, as a Preview Society offering it may not have ever been a catalog.

I think you're right John, it was a color mailer sent to subscribers.

@perrone1 That's interesting as I was a Preview Society member and have kept all the flyers that I had gotten and I do not have this one.

I recall receiving communication or documentation about this one from DM including pics as I was turned off by the color at the time.  Not sure why I was.....I like it now.  Lol.

Very nice, but I always felt the green version reminded me of a military vehicle, the type of car that a 4-star general would chauffeured around in. Great pics for sure.
