(PICS) It's NOT pink! It's Dusk Rose. One of DM's finest works...
...the 1957 Ford Thunderbird.

Flawless photowork !!
who among us can`t fully imagine just what a full inhale of photo 6 would smell like??? 
at 13 years old,it`s interesting that you call this one of DM`s best.....is there a time period of outstanding DM productions,or is it on a case-by-case basis?

LOL! HAVE IT - LOVE IT. My favorite T-bird 'year'. Why DM didn't...
? wear out this tooling with SEVERAL repaints I'll never know. I"d have gotten them 'all'.
Oh well.... what SHOULD'VE been.... geez.
Final '2 cents'... THIS '57 should've come with the hard-top with the opera window. Someone at DM goofed. Otherwise, she's fantastic.

Beautiful! It is a perfect color. I wish DM would've issued it in red.

Thanks fellas! John B., I reviewed DM's 1:24th mainstay for many years...
...Their work kept getting better over time. During the period when they transitioned from dog-leg door hinges to internal, and much more realistic units, and then added scissors hinges, is when they were in their hey-day.
Later, FM and WCPD followed suit. DM's first set of T-Birds, of the '80's and '90's, were of lower-tech. Those into the 2000's, were progressively better and at the zenith of diecast model building.
