1956 Yellow Plymouth Belvedere Convertible Diecast Model 1:32

For 1956 Plymouth advertising stressed two main features. First was the new aerodynamic look which featured new tail fins and was emphasized even more when customers chose the optional duo-color “Sportone” trim. The other major advertising theme was that Plymouth was the first of the low-priced 3 (Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth) to offer Push-Button Driving. Over 60% of 1956 buyers bought the Powerflite automatic transmission option which had pushbutton controls on the dashboard.  The Belvedere was the top of the Plymouth line until the mid-year introduction of the Fury and it provided their only convertible for 1956. The Belvedere convertible, at $2,478 and only offered with the V-8 engine, was the highest price car in the line with the exception of the Sport Suburban wagon and the Fury. 1956, however, was not a particularly good year for either Plymouth (sales dropped over 100,000 from 1955) or the convertible, which only produced 6,735. Diecast Model: 1:32, Diecast Model Weight: 220.0 Grams. Produced By The National Motor Museum Mint.
