Moving into 1956 for DeSoto. The 1st model I am featuring is another one from Conquest Models. By 1956, the Firedome had dropped to the bottom series in DeSoto model lineup. So, with that, it's a nice opportunity to have this beauty in my collection, it may be the bottom of the lineup, but it doesn't suffer with the looks, excellent!

Same one I have. It was the first DeSoto 1/43 scale model I bought. Now I have seven ranging from 1942 to 1960.

It is a beautiful model and DeSoto in any position in the line-up for 1956. A particularly cool replica !
