'56 DeSoto Fireflite sedan

[realgone58]

After seeing Ramfins59 beautiful '56, I figured I had to show mine. This one is factory Iridescent green and Sage green two tone. I need to grab a modelhaus interior yet. More pics once I do the interior. Here we are so far.

Looks great Alan, I like the color combo!

[Ramfins59]

Alan, I love the color combo on your model. Just be prepared to do some serious filing and sanding, and fitting, and trimming when you get the Modelhaus interior. I had a bear of a time getting mine to seat into the car properly. Aside from that, it's a great interior with lots of detail.

I've got these! The '55 is the last year they used the Ideal name. It has metal bumpers. I wouldn't touch it since it's a decent promo in good condition. I got it as part of a collection I was given years ago. The '56 is the Excel repop and a candidate for the same treatment that Rich gave his. Maybe a Moebius Chrysler chassis.... hmmm

Tom, those promo's look great. Where did you find the '55, and who was it made by..??

Excellent job Alan!!! Here's my red and black one.

Some great DeSotos here. I've been searching for a "not so warped" '55 promo for quite some time now.

The '55 is from Ideal, the last year that name was used by Johan. It has metal bumpers.
