Re: [FWDLK] Danbury Mint models

Leon,

Many thanks for the 'heads-up' on the future release of Danbury's 1956
DeSoto Adventurer. A couple of years ago, I sent the two Mints an extensive
"wish list" with the Adventurer way up at the top. Also on that list were
Chrysler 300's from 1955 and '56, the '55 Imperial Newport, and the '57
Imperial. I guess we're making some progress after all!

Happy collecting,

Ross Klein
