tim boyd Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 From what I understand, there is at least one idea in this thread that is under consideration and if it materialized I suspect it would be an excellent seller. As for me personally, I'd love to see the '61-'63 F100 Unibody, such as the one Jesse posted above, but I doubt that one is going to surface as a new kit from any of the makers....TIM

They would be a good seller!!!!!!!

TIM Awww, c'mon Tim! Out with it! Or are they watching your house?? ANY of these cars mentioned would be great, so lets hope they're definitely getting their ducks in a row!
Mike Chernecki Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 My vote is for the AMX/Javelin or '67-'72 Chevy C10.
Rob Hall Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I suspect we will see at least one variation of the '65 Comet. And wasn't there supposed to be a stock '61 Catalina variation of the Ventura (besides the MK NASCAR version that was announced) ?
High octane Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I think that we already have enough 50's Mercurys.
Rob Hall Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) I think that we already have enough 50's Mercurys.A '55-56 Mercury or '57 Turnpike Cruiser would be nice...though I'd really like to see a '68-69 Cyclone or '67-68 Cougar. Edited February 25, 2017 by Rob Hall

bill_67 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 On a personal choice I would pick the 71-74 javelin/amx, but the 1970 javelin actually makes sense. With at least 5 different option packages so reissues could be done like revell's 69 camaro. The engines were externally the same, so retooling less parts. Most reissues would need hood,spoiler, and decal changes.
Snake45 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I'm not getting the love for the '71-'74 Javelin. Not only were they the ugliest of the breed (ducking now!), but JoHan did them and there are plenty of reissues around at somewhat reasonable prices.Now, a '68-'70, you could put me down for a few!
Richard Bartrop Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Personally, I thought the first gen Javelin was okay, but it looks like just another generic ponycar, but hey, everyone has their own tastes.I could definitely go for a boat tailed Riviera, but some mid 50s luxurycars would be up around the top of my want list. There's some classics and brass era cars that would rate higher for me, but let's be realistic. The Kaiser mentioned at the beginning of this thread would be right up there for me, as would a '53 Buick Skylark. A "56 Lincoln or any mid 50s Cadillac would be good, though if you really wanted something with a racing version, there's always the 1954 Lincoln.
MrObsessive Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Thinking of '50's cars, there's one with a lot of potential as several versions could definitely come from it. 1957 Oldsmobile 88/98. You have the hardtop, post coupe, convertible, and if I'm not mistaken Richard Petty's car could come from this. Isn't that one of the first cars he raced back then? I thought there was a rumor of one coming from one of the major manufacturers years ago, but of course, we've not seen it. Edited February 27, 2017 by MrObsessive
Jon Cole Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I think that we already have enough 50's Mercurys.Actually, I don't think we have any 50's Mercury kits. The '49 Merc, afaik, is not the same as the '50 or the '51. The '51 has different sheetmetal in the taillight area.
charger74 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 A 1969 mercury cyclone would be pretty nice from moebius
