I love this car and the color combo. I only wish the roof-line would have been right.

Have it and love. The roof doesn't bother me. The colors are perfect.

Actually John, the roof on the FM 56 Chevy doesn't bother me either, but when I park it next to

DM's red/white version, then the FM roof bothers me because then I see how FM missed the mark on it.

But the car is a beauty and I do love it.

Nice looking model. There’s something about black and yellow on 50s cars that just look perfect!
