LOL...no surprise here Barry....you're Mopar through and through. I agree it is a very nice looking car; as was the Belvedere HT and the Sport Suburban wagon!

I think I would choose the same as in 55, Ford Fairlane, Chevy and Plymouth.

@jack-dodds That wagon is a knockout!
I keep hoping that Jim Cowan of Automodello will do the '56 Plymouth Sport Suburban in 1:43 one fine day. I have two of his Dodge wagons and love them; especially the red/grey/white tri-color.

Oh the choices. While I was really into British sports cars in this period, family and friends went for the DeSoto, Chevrolet and Studebaker Hawk.
