My neighbor's grandparents drove a black fastback '48 Fleetline to visit the grandkids and I don't think they ever took it over 25 mph. It was in immaculate condition well into the late '60s when I got drafted. I suppose they died with it still in working order. The three things that I loved about that car was the fastback body, the imposing front grill and that jukebox dash. I doubt it had all the options that Danbury Mint put into their beautiful model (they certainly never sprung for white walls), but looking at this little guy always brings back youthful memories.

One of my all time favorite DM models. Love the color combination. Rich, as always, your pictures are drop dead gorgeous.

@bob-jackman The model is so well done and exquisitely scaled, the pics make it look like a 1:1.
