Well, the cat is out of the proverbial bag, so I may as well fess up. It was through my request, that GLM is doing the 1956 New Yorker convertibles. We will have three two tone color combinations in both top up and top down versions. I am reluctant to share any photos, as some small details remain to be taken care of. I will post one that is perhaps near final production approval. Pictures of deco samples of the other two color combos have not yet been received.
Also, while we’re at it, we will be working with GLM to produce models of the 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury hardtop.
This early bronze model has an unapproved roof color.
More details will be forthcoming as we get closer to actual production.

@dirn I can certainly appreciate why you keep your releases close to the vest. In this case, I'm glad you shared the info because your two-tone color combos are, in my opinion, more appealing than the single color body. I can't wait to see what your other two color combinations are!

O I like em! Specially the 1959 Plymouth. How long do we have to wait for these? Never mind I’ll start saving today.
