I have all the FM 56 Chevy convetibles. For FM, they were done nicely. Far better than their hardtop version in black & yellow that has the roof all misshaped.
With regard to that beige & white convertible, when I originally tried to order the car yeas ago from FM, they flat out said there was no such car! Turns out it was produced by FM, but for an independent retailer.
Just never made any sense to me that FM would not admit to the car when called. One would think they'd have wanted to sell them regardless of how to order it.
