Turnpike Cruiser Tuesday .... a tad excessive, but hey... it was 1957. With the conti kit, it barely fits in my display case!

John you have the “corrected” version! What do I mean? .....
DM first issued this model with frames around the door glass! They later reissued it corrected as your model shows.

Cruiser modified!
Just after I purchased it, my Turnpike Cruiser went to K and S Models (Paul Kravchak) and became a hardtop (door frames removed, rear windows down), and the continental kit removed - still have it and it's one of my favorites!

I`m grateful for your post Phil ?!?
the minutia of details associated with our little cars are of HUGE appeal to (I imagine) ANY collector

I thought you posting " i had no EYE DEER" was sarcasm / humor hinting that you knew already.
