Well done.. ? Certainly. But definitely not "over ripe". That's a spectacularly good looking model in the colors it's wearing.

My favorite color combination on these Chrysler models. Pure 50s perfect.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome. The only DM model I like more than this one is the '56 Lincoln Premiere in Island Coral.

It'd be nice if the people who chose the color combos for our favorite models would come forth on this forum and just give a shout out so we could say thank you !

Without any debate, this model is one of Danbury Mints best.  Attention to detail bumper to bumper and ladled with chrome, it captures all the luxury and elegance a Chrysler could in the fifties.  The two-tone color scheme is spot-on too.  Open the doors, peek inside and you wish you get in and feel the comfort that the real deal provided for its owner. 

I'm glad I have one parked on my shelves!
