Getting this small flyer in the mail offered a car from Franklin Mint that I'd not have expected.  Yes it was a Chevy, but it wasn't the normal "Tri-Five" seemingly endless release of those years.  

It was an outstanding RED & WHITE '54 CHEVROLET BEL AIR CONVERTIBLE!  I flashed to my phone in a "Mork & Mindy" NANO second and placed my order.  

I can find no flaws in replication, other than the dashboard that seems to be do low in front of the steering wheel.  Finding other faults would be nit-picking at best.  And it displays beautifully on my shelf.

Love the 54 BelAir models. My brother once owned a Turquoise/white two door post

I have this one too. I also have the Turquoise/White hardtop. The '54 Bel Air is another long time favorite of mine.

When the GRAY/WHITE '54 convertible came out, I added that one to my parking lot.  It along with the RED/WHITE convertible looks great next to my 2 Hardtops.  All four are beautiful models.

I really should get this convertible to go with my turquoise coupe.

If you do, then you'll have to get the Gray/White convertible and the Black/White hardtop too.  Smile
