great looking 58, I'm sure you've owned this model for many years... looks like new.

One of my earlier purchased models and a favorite.  My boss at the Bank I was employed at owned one just like the model.  When I got my model I brought it in to work to share with him and he quickly ordered one for himself.  He was an old car buff like me.  

In my office in the Bank I had my walls adorned with framed old car photos.  They served as both an ice-breaker for folks coming in for loans and I was known by many customers as "the Car Guy".

My first car out of high school was identical to the model, minus the continental kit. Sure wish I had hung onto it!! When DM released it I had to get it. I couldn't hardly wait to see the package delivered.

That waiting for the package to be delivered and the excitement in opening the box, is one of the most memories of every model car I ordered.  Picking up the box from my doorstep, bringing it in the house and revealing the actual car made any bad day I might have been happening, a better day.  I miss receiving those boxes.  Smile
