Expert 5K+ Posts: 9911 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Two tone blue. Same as mine except my roof is white but I had to have it. Bought this a week or so ago and it finally arrived. 11 x 17 two page, uncut advert (from the center of some travel magazine (nothing on the otherside to indicate which one). There is a "mistake" in the photo. What is it? (This version is the result of a two-part 8 1/2" x 11 scan on my scanner at 300 dpi, stitched together in MS Paint and then reduced in size to permit uploading here). I think you can still spot the "mistake".

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9681 Location: So. Cal | The rear quarter window on the other side seems to be missing and the upper door sill which is visible through the front door, isn't present through the rear window. Also, the headliner color looks wrong. Weren't they usually off-white? | ||

Also, the headliner color looks wrong. Weren't they usually off-white? Not seeing what you (aren't) seeing. My headliner and original rear parcel tray were both baby blue. Still not what I was thinking re: mistake. Edited by 56D500boy 2017-08-04 6:18 PM | ||

No more calls folks, we have our winner. Exactly what I noticed !! 55 Dodge/Plymouth button-type door handles, not the 56 Kelvinator Fridge door handles (LOL). I have seen 56 Dodge Brochure photos with both the button style and fridge handle style, sometimes in the same brochure like this one: | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 792 Location: Buena Park, CA | I feel special! Ha ha ha. I'm glad you posted the cover of the '56 Big Brochure, I've looked at it 100's of times and never noticed the button handles on the cover. But I've noticed a lot of "odd" stuff in the other brochures. For example, the 1956 Fury brochure has the car pictured with hubcaps that, as far as i know, never existed, rather than the proper Adventurer style caps. | ||
