I like the Ranchero diecasts and wish some were also available in 1/25th scale plastic. I'd especially like a '67 XL, '70 GT, '72 or '73 GT, and a '77-'79 GT.

There were two wagon promos that I am aware of: one had a metal flywheel chassis and the other had the plastic chassis with detail (other than the spare tire well), probably used from the Impala hardtop, convertible, sport sedan and El Camino.

Best wishes to the magazine and the forum. A while back when we were asked about recommending changes to the forum, I suggested a category on promotional model cars and trucks. I hope that will come to fruition now.

If you're talking 1/25th scale, look for an AMT 1955 or 1956 Coupe deVille promo with an interior.

I can't think of a current American car that I would want in kit form that isn't already available. Going back a few decades, the Allante, XLR, 1995-1999 Riviera, the glass roof Mustang, and the 2000-2007 Monte Carlo would be my choices. Of these, only the Monte Carlo could be made in multiple variations (regular SS, Pace Car, Dale Earnhardt and other special editions). I don't pay close attention to cars from Europe and Japan.

yes!

If you can't make it look right, buy the promo: AMT Ertl 1950 Chevrolet Chevy Pickup Mariner Blue Promo 6287EO | eBay I have one and it is quite nice.

have patience; I would expect that to be released at some point

I didn't know there were so many grille variations over the years.

I believe all of the '65-'68 Fury III hardtop and convertible kits have bucket seats. I only have the promos, which have the bench seat. Bucket seats would definitely appeal more to kit buyers than a bench seat. Jo-Han provided bench seats on the Cadillac deVille promo models and most - if not all - of the '64-'68 deVille kits came with bucket seats. Buckets were optional on the deVille through 1968 and on the Coupe deVille through 1967.

it does look nice; as I recall, you could only get bucket seats on the Sport Fury
