This was a "no-brainer" Brochure!  The color combo (Harvest Gold and India Ivory) popped as soon as I saw it.  The interior accented (in Green) the exterior perfectly and look at the features...WOW!  Removable Roof, Removable Skirts, and a detailed engine that I could hear humming when I opened the envelope to the Brochure.  And yea, I know it has a Continental Kit, but hey, like people, no car is absolutely perfect.  Not having this car on my shelf would have me left believing my life is not complete.  

Phone in hand, dial up 1-800-243-4664...rrriiinnnggg..."Good afternoon, Danbury Mint, how can I help you?"  Ordering done!  Looking back, I know that this is one decision I never have to second guess.

This was, indeed, a no brainer George. And for Corvette guys, NOTHING, but nothing looks better next to it than the '55 Corvette in the same color combo!

It was quicker than I thought to track down these photos... here you go George, the Corvette and Bel Air together. I know you are not a fan of the Corvette, but these look so good together, you should add at least this one to your collection.
