oldcarfan Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 That's the one! It also came in a different color. I bought one of each. Now I wish I had bought more! One of these days I want to do it up with a roof rack and a bunch of camping gear in the back as if it's headed for Yosemite for a family vacation.

Ryan S. Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I'd love to see a '62 Pontiac Catalina. Love that longroof for some reason.Also, an early '60's Chevy (60-62). See a theme? I just dig the styling from that era.

Those Two are great ideas. I'd definitely go for the Bermuda in multiples.

Roadrunner Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Long shot, big time, but I'd love to see a '65 Dodge Polara station wagon.

I'm talking about the All American 1954 Conestoga. There may have been a Modelhaus or Flintstone phantom sedan delivery later on
FordRodnKustom Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 1972 Olds Vista Cruiser. We had one of these in the mid 70's. I was a great car and I do miss it. I'd like to have one in kit form. Possibly based on the 442 kit?

hack-n-whack Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I would like to see some accurate 1/25th scale woodys. A 1932 Ford (from Revell, to continue their excellent line of Deuces. From AMT (Round 2) I would like to see a 1934 Ford (from their '34 coupe kit), a1936 Ford woody (from their latest '36 3-n-1 kit. Also a 1938 Ford by any kit maker. None has ever been done (any body style). Thanks for reading this. Am I alone with these wants? hack-n-whack

It was run by Art Anderson who posts on this board. I still have mine unbuilt in the box. I guess the way to find one would be to post a search agent on eBay. That way when one is listed you get an email. I find AAM things on the 'bay on a regular basis.

1972coronet Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I'm surprised that no one's mentioned the Chevelle 300 Deluxe 2-door wagon, which could easily be modified from the AMT '65 wagon ...1963 Tempest Wagon Super Duty ! 1971-1974 Coronet or Satellite wagon1978-1990 Caprice wagon

ChrisBcritter Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Thinking of wagon kits that could be based on existing Revell/Monogram tooling (I'm sadly leaving out AMT/Round 2 since there probably won't be any more new tooling from there), I'd like to see a '59 and/or '60 Chevy, '64 Fairlane (somebody must have built one of these as a drag racer?) and a '67 Dodge Coronet. And I know it's been done in resin already, but after I saw this photo on the H.A.M.B. yesterday, a '50 Olds would be a natural: The thing with marketing wagon kits is you could do the stock, cruiser-lowered-with-surfboard-rack and drag versions - bringing back the 3-in-1 idea.
russosborne Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) In order of my priority: I would like to see at least the 65 Pontiac Bonneville, and any of the early 70ish Olds Vista Cruisers. We moved from Ohio to Phoenix AZ in our 65 in 1969, and my dad bought a Vista Cruiser around 1972. Can't for the life of me remember which year. Could have even been a 69. The one from "That 70's Show" is definitely close enough. And pretty much any of the 60's to mid 70's GM wagons. Also most of the Fords also. And then all the rest.

Sixties Sam Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I second the 58 Edsel Bermuda (or the two-door Roundup). A Pontiac Safari would be cool, too. Maybe use some of the Nomad tooling?Sam
W-409 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I'd like to see of course a '58-'64 Chevy Wagons (Nomad, Brookwood, Kingswood etc). As an owner of a '60 Impala HT, I'd buy lots of those if they were available.Others I'd like to see would be '80s Chevrolet Caprice STWs. That's just simply because lots of them were imported to Finland when they were new and they are still seen quite often on roads. Plus that it's not a bad looking car either.'79-'81 Malibu STW would be cool too. Perfect starting point for a Street & Strip car.
Zarana-X Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I'd like to see a type 3 Volkswagen Squareback, and they could build a bunch of variants later, even. Possibly early and late Cressida wagons. Datsun 510
