George. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I do not know how I missed the DM version. I have only the FM versions and of that, they are 4 Nomads, 2 Convertibles and the 1 Hardtop.

Put the DM's on your Bucket List. 
It's an absolute perfect model.

I agree George. Both the '55 and '56 Bel Airs by DM were amazing.

Yea, that was my question too. I do remember an FM Nomad that was red and white with some advertising on it, but that is the only other one I remember other than the turquoise/white one.

The DM '56 convertible is really nice. And FM's convertibles are pretty nice too. All in all, both mints did the '55 and '56 Chevy's proud.

Thanks John. I forgot about the black Nomad from the car set which I have and the Fire Chief car which I don't have.
