If not mistaken Ben, I believe Geoff is referring to the FM yellow 56 T-Bird with white top. It was an independent dealer model. I think you may be on the hunt for the Danbury Mint 55:

@perrone1 Have both Tony. The 55 is an exact copy of the 1/1 I owned even down to the wire wheel covers. My 1/1 also had a rare factory tonneau cover.

@perrone1 I can't get to the 56 to see the build number. I was also confused why they would put a chrome tire cover on the model as the 1/1s were always painted body color.
