That's funny, but I think you may be right.

When in doubt, check Ebay, you may find the scale model or the real Mcoy.

If the scale model, I have seen one from I believe Maisto, which makes toy cars as well as another maker that makes larger size cars, around 12" long with moving parts. I bought my Father a 1957 and 1955 T-bird to match his cars, can not remember the company, but good quality and well detailed.

I checked out a 1957 as well as a 1958 at the Portland Swapmeet. I am certain someone here has seen or even owns one.

I was going to suggest the '58 in the American Grafitti series. There is also a 1:12th scale '58 available from Gearbox. It's much bigger than the 1:18th scale stuff and as such has much higher detail. I don't know if it comes in yellow, but it is avilable with a removeable hardtop...
