That's not congestion; that's concentration at its very best. Noticed when you first showed the Danbury 56 Lincoln Premiere, that it did not have it's top boot. I reasoned it was in the box. Now I see it displayed without it. Is it in the box? If not, you may wish to display with top up. Just a suggestion. I presume you have already checked in with the seller if you've already noticed it missing. (??)

The New Yorker is my favorite Chrysler from the 50’s, and I understand the congestion thing; I just finished relocating my entire collection to a smaller room.

@chris Yeah, I love this one.  Glad I bought it.  I got lucky and found a DM/Acme 1/18 1964 Riviera in the box at a local auction this week for a song.  Drop dead gorgeous in Diplomat Blue.  Do you have that one?

display looks great, and as we have discussed, how well different scales work together. Can I express a concern Benjamin? Dust?
