The 1956 Plymouth was a great-looking "Forward Look" automobile and some terrific replicas have been done by various manufacturers in different scales. As a small kid, I had a 1/25 promo of this beauty.

I presently have two, or I mean, one and a half diecast replicas of this one. It actually is a Signature Model in about 1/32 scale.

My two tone green model is fine and looks great. My red/black two-tone coupe has sadly suffered badly from intergranular corrosion. Some pictures and phone-camera snaps illustrate the good and not-so-good.

Sad about the red/black model. Both colors look great. I REALLY like the green/black version.🤑

Too bad it was not made in 1/24.  DM and FM missed out on a winner.

great settings there Mike, and nice 1/32 model. I wonder if a 1/25 kit was produced. Other knowledgeable posters have mentioned kits were produced from promos.
