One of my all-time favorites. Growing up, the neighbor who lived across the street..........
bought a brand new one just like this. I bought mine from TFM Museum in Media, PA at one of the annual FM/D4C car shows.

I walked into a FM retail store here in Michigan. It was my 1st time there. I didn't know it was in the Mall. I walked out with this and two others. Boy, I really loved going in that store.

This 55 Pontiac Yellow and Black looks very nice in your pictures
But in display case this car yellow and black stand out as best looking car on display

I used to visit the FM store in Tampa -
Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end... but alas they did. 🙂

FM store in the Boca Raton Mall
There is an upscale mall in Boca Raton, Fla that
used to have a FM store there. My wife discovered
the FM store there. I was sitting on a bench in the
mall while she was shopping. When she came to get
me, she had a big smile on her face and she said
"I have something to show you."
From that point on, I bought all my FM models
there instead of ordering them by mail.
I sure miss that store
