PICs - Daily Dose of Diecast...Monday
Curious as to why DM issued the '56 DeSoto Adventurer two ways. I have it with side windows down and with back windows up. The windows down is the first one I bought in 2001, the other many years later.

Extremely sharp / outstanding pics. Love this color-combo; but, not the hubcaps.

The age old debate, why would one want a HARDTOP with the REAR windows up? This is my primary issue with the Automodello replica's, as they have BOTH the RIDERS side windows UP!
The whole thrill and beauty of a hardtop back in the day, was that with the windows DOWN, one had the feel of a convertible and the wind blowing in their hair.
So when the mints made cars with rear windows up, in my opinion it was a botched job!!!
