Construction paper. Always takes me back to fond memory of elementary school. Scott

In my first posting under this subject, I mentioned that I'd like to see a 1960 Chrysler 300F convertible. This brings a few more that need to be added to the list. So here we go with wish list #4, looking at only other Chrysler products I like to see as model kits. - 1960 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country wagon - 1960 DeSoto Adventurer, 2-door or 4-door hardtop - 1960 Plymouth Sport Suburban station wagon - 1960 Dodge Polara, any body style except 4-door sedan - 1960 Valiant V200 (which was now a Plymouth in 1960), sedan or wagon - Any Imperial from 1969 through 1975 - 1965 Chrysler 300L convertible - 1979 Chrysler Cordoba 300 - 1978 or '79 Dodge Magnum - 1978 Chrysler LeBaron, 2-door coupe or Town and Country wagon - 1967 Dodge Dart GT convertible - 1970 Dodge Monaco, 2-door or wagon - 1971 Dodge Demon (a no brainier on this one) That's it. Sweet and Short. For now. Scott

There you go. That's what I want. Scott

And what is that Art? Scott

How much? I even have an unbuilt '66 laying around. I need a '65 to go with my built '64 and '66 Wildcats. Scott

Amen! Scott

There you go. I'd prefer a convertible. But, I'd settle for that. Scott

Who makes it? And what scale is it? Scott

Oh, and a note for Mark Orr. Sorry to say, but Mercury did not offer Park Lanes in 1969 or '70. Which reminds me, I need to add the 1967 Mercury Monterey S-55 convertible to one of the above lists. Scott

Wish list #3. And here I may get a little weird at times. - 1967 Mercury Cougar GT - 1972 (US spec) Capri 2600 - 1955 Ford Thunderbird (in 1/25 scale) - 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Hardtop - 1967-'71 Ford Thunderbird 4-door Landau - 1971 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Landau - 1972 Ford Thunderbird (not the Japanese joke version) (prefer version w/bucket seats and no vinyl top) - 1977 or '78 Thunderbird (with bucket seats) - 1974 Buick Riviera GS - 1974 Buick LeSabre Luxus convertible - 1974 Buick Electra Limited 4-door hardtop - 1972 Chevrolet Impala (any of the 3 hardtops or convertible) - 1970 or '71 Chevrolet Camaro SS with RS front end - 1970 or '71 Chevrolet Camaro SS without RS front end - 1972, 1975, or 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousine - 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham - 1975 or '76 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham - 1969 or '70 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 6.3 - 1970 or '71 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 convertible - Any year Mercedes Benz 600 non Pullman 4-door sedan - Mercedes Benz 280 SL - 1966-'67 Ferrari 365 California Spyder - 1966-'67 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 coupe or NART Spyder - 1966-'67 BMW 2000CS (with option of European or US spec headlights) - 1971-'72 BMW 3.0CSi - 1967 Toyota 2000 GT - 1971 or '72 (US spec) Toyota Celica - Any Toyota Crown sold in the US - 1970-'72 Toyota Hi-Lux pickup truck - 1955 or '56 Oldsmobile Super 88 or 98, 2-door or 4-door Holiday or convertible - 1955 or '56 Buick Century, 2-door or 4-door Riviera or convertible - 1957 Buick Century Cabellaro Estate Wagon - 1956 Mercury Montclair, any body style - 1959 and '60 Buick Invicta or Electra, any body style except 4-door sedan - 1962 Buick Wildcat - 1972 or '73 Buick Centurion, any body style - 1972, '73, or '74 Buick Estate Wagon Okay, I think that's it for now. Your probably getting bored. Sacred. Or both. So, I'll stop for now. Scott

I'm not waiting, I'll be buying this one. But, I really want an RS/SS convertible with the custom interior. Scott

Tough to say anything more than the others before me have said. Very nice work. Your a true craftsman. Scott

Wow! Very nice build. An odd color, but it works in this case. Nice job Andy. Scott

Wishing is fun. Now if it could only come true. I'm not holding my breath. Scott

Chevrolet's Suburban has always been based on Chevy's truck chassis. The first all steel bodied passenger car station wagon was offered by Crosley in 1947. Beating the '49 Plymouth Suburban all steel wagon to market. There is some debate about the '46 Willys Jeep steel wagon being first steel passenger car wagon. Willys did register them as passenger cars. But, most people look at them as being trucks, like Chevrolet's Suburban. In passenger cars, Ford's first all steel wagon was brought out in 1952. Though the wood on '49 through '51 were decorative rather than structural. Chevrolet's first steel passenger car wagon came late in the '49 model run. The '53 Buick Estate Wagons were the last wagons where real wood was used as part of the structure of the car. Scott

Jonny Quest still has a following. It is still the coolest cartoon ever. And best TV show theme music ever. The complete original series has been out on DVD for several years now. I've had the set for several years now. Now I need Moebuis' upcoming Dragonfly to go with it. Scott

The Brazilian Maverick GT looks a lot like a US Maverick Grabber I see. Still cool to see. Love cars built in other parts of the world that look a lot like ours up here. Like your '69 Galaxie and Maverick GT. If you have others like these. It would be fun to see those too. Scott

Another nice one Jim. Scott

I love a good wish list. Cars and trucks I'd like to see as models? - 1967 Buick Wildcat convertible - 1971 or '72 boat tail Buick Riviera GS - 1960 Chrysler 300F convertible - Chevrolet Corvair ramside pickup truck or Corvair Greenbriar Sport Wagon - 1969 or '70 Chevrolet Suburban - GMC 26' motorhome - Volkwagen Thing - 1966 or '67 Ford Bronco - 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT - 1964 Studebaker Daytona convertible - 1964 Studebaker Grand Turismo Hawk - 1967 Jeep Super Wagoneer Just to name a few. Several I doubt will ever be considered for kits. The '67 Wildcat for one. And others I don't understand why they have not been done. The Ford Bronco for example. Scott

I like the looks of 1960 Chryslers. The '60 300F is one of my all time favorite cars. The '60 New Yorker Town and Country wagon is a beauty too. Scott

I too agree with this. Scott

Thinking about it, the Sears catalog was the Amazon of its time. You could live in the middle of nowhere. Order from the Sears catalog and get it delivered to your door step. Now you can live I the middle of nowhere. Order online from Amazon and get it delivered to your door step. The more things change, the more they stay the same. And the Sears Christmas Wish Book was one of my favorite parts of Christmas as a kid. Christmas started the day the Sears Wish Book came to the door. We also got the JC Penny's and Alden's Christmas catalogs too. Neighbors got the Montgomery Wards. But, the Sears Christmas catalog was the best. My sisters and I were forced to agree to take turns on who got the catalog for how long. Else we would get into fights over it. Every year my mother would tell us to put our initials by the one big gift in the Sears catalog we wanted. And just about every year you would get that gift. When it was one your siblings turn with the Sears catalog, we would grudgingly look at the Penny's or Alden's catalog. Waiting to get back to the Sears, and drool and dream. Scott

Very nice job Mike. Scott

Great! Scott

Thanks Dave for following up on the info on Jonny Quest Dragonfly. I know it's not a model car, but I sometimes build other things, and have always loved that airplane. Cool! I can't wait. Scott
