Options are always nice! Top up, skirts off for me please. IMO the perfect colors, my favorite for this year Plymouth... I'm sure this '55 will be a bit hit for Brooklin; nice vid John, thanks.

It is a really beautiful automobile and model in all aspects. This Plymouth is a real stunner and the colors are fantastic.

@karl, I agree. The Hardtop feature fits like a glove as well. You can't tell that it's a separate piece. Casting and making it fit well is quite a challenge.

Waiting for mine to arrive. Since I have the regular issue in red as a convertible top down, I'm thinking this model will be displayed with the hardtop and fender skirts. The model looks great.

It looks to be a very fine model. Great looking color. The only downfall to me is the convertible top. The texture is to big and the what would be stainless trim that is suppose to be at the bottom of the rear window is missing and hence looks unfinished. They should have glass bead blasted the top for a fine texture and then painted it with a little less gloss. I realize the model can have the hardtop or convertible top. The trim would have to be a separate piece glued to the bottom of the window and not the body as it would have been because of the removable of the convertible top for the hardtop. Otherwise outstanding!
