Thanks John, very good sir.  I always knew about the 2-year ('55-'56) Dodge Le Femmes, but still can't believe that I NEVER even heard about this car until 8 days ago. 🙄 😯

I don’t know if it is currently displayed since the Chrysler Museum closed. The Dodge became the factory offering for the concept, which is too bad because the La Comtesse was far more elegant and made a better statement. Chrysler did it “on the cheap” with using the Dodge.

That's a great look at these superb 1/43 models, John ! They really are scale jewels and they both are certainly eye-catchers on display.

While we are on the subject of beautiful 50s Chryco products maybe GLM could PLEASE do a '56 Plymouth Sport Suburban wagon?

Jack, I already have the convertible and Fury but would welcome the station wagon, two door and four door hardtops.

This review of LaComtesse convinced me to get this one. I don't collect Chryslers but I need that one and thanks to Stamp to come back with real chrome and delete silver paint. This makes a big difference compared to the other 1954 Chryslers of this Series.

Thank you for your wonderful take on a model that I worked on getting produced for three years. It is nice to hear that my efforts are appreciated!
