Found a 3rd 59 300E conv. Christmas car it is a dark blue with a cream
colored interior. Have two local Cracker Barrels near me they have two more
silver and one more dark blue after I bought one of all three colors. One
more car that Wayne didn't list I found it is not forward look but is that
era is 55 or 56 Pontiac conv. Pretty cool cars with decent detail on them.
