Super sharp / outstanding pics. Have it - LOVE IT. Why did DM only do '2' - '56s?

Quite probably, DM's finest '56, captured flawlessly!

Absolutely one of my DM favorites! And I like it better WITH the skirts.

With skirts or without skirts, top up or top down...this is a great model anyway you look at it.

Love the car and the pics.....

For me, this one and the red issue show too much rim. I'm guessing the full wheel cover on the DM issue is undersized. The look reminds me of the 3/4 caps that were so popular on the '41 Cadillac.

John, good point and of course you are correct about the rims which I never paid attention to before.
