This is one of DM better efforts and the colors suit it well.  George will love the pic of the dashboard; I believe it is his favorite.

These can't be pictures of a model car, they have to be pictures of Geno's 1/1 in his garage. What a guy, trying to fool us.

Very nicely photographed. One that I missed, probably because I was not a real fan of the Pontiac's and Oldsmobile's from the Mid Fifties.

I agree it's a great effort by DM, but in all frankness, the roofline is a little off.  However, that for me, doesn't deter from this models appeal and beauty.  And YES, I love the dashboard on it and also the '54, but it's the slight refinements of the '56's dashboard that make the '56 Oldsmobile my favorite dashboard.  I love this model and have it on my model shelves in a front row displayed with my NINE different '55 convertibles.

I got a Pontiac that's close:

Pontiac 002 001
Pontiac 001 001
Pontiac 004 001
Pontiac 003 001

But, this one's is my idea of a Creamsicle:

Atlantic orange 017
Atlantic orange 010 001
Atlantic orange 011
Atlantic orange 014
Atlantic orange 016 001
Atlantic orange 012
Atlantic orange 015
Atlantic orange 009
Atlantic orange 013

I have that '55 Oldsmobile, and I love it. Got mine along time ago from the D4C auction site...seller was some guy from Tennessee.

@geno The Pontiac was a promo that I gussied up. That aero-moderne roadster was originally a 1/64 Hot Wheels that Mattel went 1/18 with. I black washed the drill and made trim and gravel guards from industrial metal tape. I painted up the interior and added a billet steering wheel and winged globes on the door cards. When you called yours a Creamsicle, it's what I always called that roadster.
