I personally would like to see somone build a 54-58 Dodge, Plymouth, Desoto, or Chrysler in a scaled down car like the 55-57 Thunderbird and the Oldsmobile concept car, it was gold in color. :woohoo:

Cool cars, thanks Barry!

Preety cool tires on that car above.  They made those tires with different colored stripes on the tread a while ago, don't know if they still do. 

I remember that there was an issue with them because gangs were doing burnouts with those tires to mark their "territory".
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Pic #2 and 3 of my ARII 1/24 scale model car 

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Amazing that DeSoto had a concept car in 59 that had electric motors in the wheels, and a hydrogen fuel cell power plant.
