A great model. Of the 50s & 60s series from FM, this is my favorite.

The best of the FM series. Has anyone ever made a Skyliner with a moveable roof in any scale (besides 1.1)

Jay, Both FM and DM have made models of the '57 'Skyliner' at 1:24 scale, in multiple color combinations. The Danbury model is quite an intricate example of model making art.
