My darling wife made me a car Christmas Tree! At our local Cracker Barrel she found several die cast model ornaments including '59 Chrysler 300E convertibles and by taking home both colors and a few of the other cars ('55 Olds Cv, '54 Ford PU, '59 Cad Cv, '56 T-Bird Cv, '55 Buick Cv) and adding our pre-owned Hallmark '57 Dodge PU and '55 Nomad in the same scale, a car tree was created. They are all intended as Christmas tree ornaments. The '59 Chrysler 300E Cv comes in either candy red with red interior or silver with red interior. The Cracker Barrel cars are all die-cast, made in China, and have a tag "Die-Cast Collectible from EJ Enterprises". The Hallmark cars are probably ABS or similar plastic. At 4.5" long, all are comparable in scale. The 300Es have nice detail including the hood ('CHRYSLER' only) and trunk letters and red/white/blue plastic medallions on the rear quarters and trunk lid. If you find any other colors for the 300E, please report! Wayne Graefen
