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.

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.
