I like the Idea of a new tool 67 to 72 Chevy pickup. I vote for short bed.

Me too! It would be nice to have 2wd & 4wd versions.

Id like to see Moebius release a 67-72 Chevy pickup, with modern tooling this would sell very well, just look at the recent Ford bumpside kits...ok maybe not a perfect kit but its selling like hotcakes !.

Or maybe a 1st gen Bronco ?

I think if someone was to tool up a Chevy kit that was a bit more detailed than the AMT kit is/was, they could have a hit on their hands. And like Moebius, offer up some variations- long & short bed, 2wd & 4wd. A nice Suburban would be cool too!

'68-'70 Javelin, you can count on me to buy several of.

'71-'74 Javelin, not interested at all.

That's a case of having your cake AND eat it too.

All Javelins share many parts,  Door skins are the same for all years...same for A pillars and windshields. 

Shared rear bumpers and spoilers.  So if you were to tool a early Javelin converting it later would be easy and really extend the tool life and lower cost.

I would love to see a 67-72 but I'm guessing licensing would be an issue these days going by what I've read about GM.  They are very popular in the 1:1 world and there would be enough variations to help with the capital outlay.  This is my baby.  67 short step, small back window, 250-6, 3 on the tree, manual everything.  No radio, armrests, passenger visor, power anything!

This may have been mentioned before but staying on the truck theme, how about 57-60 Ford trucks. It would seem to be a lot of possibilities there.

Maby not very realistic,but i love to see these. 

47-49 Cadillac Sedanette. 

50 Buick Sedanette.

53-57 Cadillac 2 door hardtop. 

57 Oldsmobile 2 door hardtop or wagon. 

57 Buick 2 door hardtop or wagon. 

58 Dodge Custom Royal 2 door hardtop. 

59 Dodge Custom Royal D500 2 door hardtop or convertible. 

60 Cadillac 2 door hardtop.

71 Chrysler 300.

71 Mercury Marquis or the uber cool Colony Park wagon. 

71 Impala Sport Coupe or Kingswood wagon.

I think we are way past due for a 1960s Dodge Pickup. All the other makes have been made except for the Dodge and Fargo. I can't afford $100+ for a resin version.

Between the upcoming '65 Mercury Comet and '61 Ventura, and variations of the Ford trucks, Satellite and the Comet and Ventura, I bet they will be busy for the next year or more...

Where did you find that picture? my friends dad owned that car when the add was on tv. it was a lot of fun riding  in that car when i was a 4th grader. fake blower and all.

Another car I want to see that could also be a TV series tie-in for either Moebius or even Polar Lights would he a 1967 Chevy Impala 4-door, obviously from the show Supernatural.

 

I would buy quite a few of these...

Posted

Polar Lights would more likely do the Impala as AMT did the Modern Tool coupe kit.

and they are technically one company now.

But, I don't think it will be anytime soon.

The last New tooling Automotive kit they did was the  TV Batmobile

3 versions all based on the same parts!!!

 

I would TRY to buy one if they did it, But would PRAY for a Fill Stock build as I never watched stupidnational!!

CHARMED yes, that NO!!!

I have no idea how the names and such got above this post!  I was quoting Dan from the post above mine!

And a smart move that was!  Round 2 is owned by Tom Lowe who has always followed the TV and Movie market.  That's a much bigger audience than the model car hobby.  There are memorabilia shows all over the country, professionally run, advertising guest appearances of old stars, and making our model car shows look like lemonade stands.   I wish the model companies published their sales numbers because I'll bet the Batmobile outsold any of the recent model car kits!

Agreed, some would see them that way yet to some others(myself included) they were quite stylish and sporty for the time.
