Re: [FWDLK] 55 Desoto Models?



John,

The only model of the '55 DeSoto was the original promotional model made by
JoHan in 1955. It was a Fireflite 4 dr sedan, and a very nice model. Because
JoHan revised the original tooling to make the '56 DeSoto, the '55 could not
be re-issued like the '56 was.  Hopefully, we can convince one of the 1/43
scale manufacturers to do a series of '55 DeSotos.

Automotively,

There seems to be plenty of 56 Desoto models on ebay, but I never see 55
models.  Did any model manufacturer make them?

Has anyone "converted" a 56 model into a 55?  Seems like a new grill and a
gentle massage to the wings ought to do it.
