Mine is the 1957 FireDome model, only the little 340 hemi.  There _was_ a
2Dr. 'Sport' model that had the 392.  

I might add, that to this date it is the ONLY car that I've NEVER gotten
stuck in the mud with while launching a boat from a trailer, and often that
was with only the tips of the tail fins above water!  (And some people said
those fins were only for 'show'  :-))  ).


     Good luck...  M.
