I know there were differnt starchief designs and the vehicle was only around for a couple years..... but here's the story... the girl i am dating right now is restoring one... i think its a 4 door hardtoop, but it might be a 2 door..... i have looked on ebay and many search engines for models of these cars, but have found very little.... does anyone know where i can get a model in any scale of one? like an ertl or testors or something? i want to get on, paint it maroon the color she is painting hers and give it to her as a gift......

Look for models by a company called Johan. They made all the dealer promo's for GM from the 50's to the late 70's. I found this 1956 PLYMOUTH BELVEDERE JOHAN PROMO (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3584427692&category=225) on Ebay.
