It sure is a beauty, isn't it? It was one of the highlights of the 2022 Downtown Revival Car Show in Carson City for me. My first father, who died when I was young, had a yellow 1956, if I remember the photo my late brother had. That photo was not copied and it was put in my brother's casket without my knowledge, so I don't know for sure which model my father had.
