5 model cars or trucks you wish were made.


Recommended Posts

1) Oldsmobile 88 or 98 from 1971-73 with the odd headlight position. Also the same car from 1959 would make a great kit as well.

2) 1958-1960 Mercury Montclair 4 door. I mean seriously look at those tail lights, looks like a BMF heaven.

3) Buick Invicta from 1959, or honestly any 1958, 59, 60 Buicks, i find them so beautiful and so important in the classic car field yet they were never kitted aside from very expensive promo's, but since this is a kit thread i won't include promos as an alternative, since they are not kits.

4) AMC Ambassador 4 door of any year, rare car, very rare.

5) Chrysler New Yorker/300/Newport from 1974-1978, i want so many of these to make a fleet and one to make a weathered and beaten car from the show " trailer park boys" to replicate ricky's dreaded new yorker.

Okay i know this is more than five but i couldn't resist because i think that Canadian cars need a special place in the model world, they have very interesting varieties there and i would love to see more Canadian based classics.

6) Acadian Beaumont, 1969

7) Acadian Canso, 1967

8) Meteor Rideau ( any year or generation, great car)

9) Meteor Montcalm ( any year)

10) 1967 Pontiac Laurentian

They were kitted...I have the '59 and '60 ht and convertible kits. The '58 Roadmaster was also kitted, but I don't have it.

1: A new, up to date molding of the classic 260/289 Cobra

2: Same as above only the USRRC and FIA versions

(Come on Revell/Round 2-the only injection molded kit was released in 1962/63!)

3:Any late model F-250/F-350 Ford pickup

4: Lola T-70 roadster and coupe

5: (now fantasy realm) 69, 71 or 72 Dodge Polara 4 dr. I love my classic police cars

Gee ... all of our lists tend to revolve around personal favorites, don't they? Here's mine:

1. 1953-54 Plymouth

2. 1991-96 Saturn SC-2

3. 1972 Chevrolet Impala (What I learned to drive in)

4. 1972 Mercury Montego

5. 1955 Ford (any body style, my Dad's was a 4-door and I was 10 so I don't have a clue what it was)

Yea, this type of thread could be sub-titled "How to bankrupt a model company".

A few I'd like to see in plastic...

VW Split Window Beetle in either 1/24 or 1/25 scale - It's never been done!

1965 Barracuda

1958 Ford

Karman Ghia Type 34

Early 1950s Buick with straight 8

1989-1993 Buick Riviera

1961 Corvette w/hard-top

Road Warrior Mack or Duel Peterbilt (the matching trailer for either of the two rigs would be an awesome bonus)

International School Bus

1/8th or 1/6th Harley Sportster 1957-1978 (Is the Then Came Bronson tool still around???)

how about these?:

1) 68-71 Dodge pickup with 2wd & 4wd drivetrains

2) 67-72 GM pickups with 2wd & 4wd drivetrains (leave the emblems off the body and offer them as photoetch to maximize tooling)

3) 66-77 Ford Bronco with full and half cab options

4) 60's era IH pickups or Scouts

5) Medium Duty Wrecker kit
