Why does DM leave the rear windows up on some pillarless hardtops? Do you remove them Larry?

Nice photos as always but I think DM missed on this one. I see lots of issues.

Perhaps their "B" factory made this model.

I do not understand having a hardtop with the rear windows up. FM did that on 55 Chevy's. Dumb!

And I passed on this car. The GTO's have been done to death (IMO). Plus, not a fan of black cars.

Agree. For starters the exhaust pipes and “GTO” insignias appear to be for a 1:18. What happened?

Me too...

Dunno, I like the '64-'67 goats, but I never liked the '68-69's body style.

HeeHee, those exhaust pipes have got to be 4-5" in diameter in scale....

And the rise of the nose and ridge over the hood looks way out of porportion.... Maybe it's the camera angle but looks bad to me.... That is why I said I'll pass....

The '56 Ford Victoria HT looks much nicer with the windows down!

JMHO - all HT's should have the windows down. ๐Ÿ˜‰
