Could it be any more beautiful? I think not!

A beautiful DM car of course! But I think the "wing" windows are a bit too wide.
Certainly not a flaw that bothers me enough to not love this car. It is one my favorites on my MoPar shelf.

Still, it's a rare but pricey beauty that I -will- have someday. Not giving up. I keep checking!

Nice, a neighbor had this color combo on a 4-door Windsor.

Al Dorado, the girlle isn't as noticeable to me as the wing window is.
And with your comparison photos you can really see how they are not right.
Like I said though, it's a beautiful car and I'm glad it's parked on my shelf.

Al if I recall correctly this was one of the last DM's I got when their inventory was fading out.

I check here and on that "other" auction site almost daily.
The two DM '58 New Yorkers don't come up very often and, when they do, the prices are usually prohibitive for me. Patience & persistence has paid off for me many times before, though. I've snagged some amazing MIB or NIB bargains.
