Nothing in it for me, but...
...there's a rarely seen FM '55 Ford Sunliner LE on the auction. That two-tone blue beauty is truly STUNNING in person and would make a great addition to your collection.
I still remember seeing it at the FM Gallery Store in Roosevelt Field mall, picking it up...and then deciding not to buy it at that time 🙁 Ended up buying one on our auction a few years ago for considerably more than the original price but I'm glad I got it, that color combo makes it one of those models that just catches my eye every time I look at the display case. It's quite different from either of the 2-tone blue '55 Pontiac or '57 Mercury.

I had one sent to me by FM that was lost in the shipping and I was not able to get a replacement as they were all gone. I purchased the 49 Cadillac LE with the money I had paid - not a good investment, but then most of my cars 1:1 and others have not had a good monetary return. The return is in the pleasure and many memories of days that will not return.

Funny, John...
I have those exact 2 models on display next to each other on the same shelf !! They look GREAT together.
