1984 Ford Tempo...and the second version will be...a 1984 Mercury Topaz!  

 

(not what I would choose, but I tried to think of what could be the most unappealing subjects a kit company could choose)

77-78 Thunderbird done in the style of the Revell 77 Monte Carlo.......Plez...

Actually, the way Revell does their snapper kits, I would welcome some nice new tools from them! 

My hope is that we will finally get a decent 67-72 GM truck kit someday, one that could be built several different ways-2wd/4wd, shortbed/longbed. With the recent 66 Suburban, how hard would it be for Revell to create a 67-72 version?

Like!  ;)

Remember back in the '80's an corporate add in a Chilton's automotive industry mag, and at the time, to me they didn't look all that bad, a bit "whaly" when looked upon now, but certainly a fresh styling break, from the ruler drawn square models....reminds me on one of the old Top Gear episodes where Jeremy Clarkson mocks the design of a '80's Lincoln (town car, I think it was)

I would rather see an 86 or 87.

I live in a small city about 45 miles west of st.louis MO. and one of the city works cars here is an '86 ford tempo 2 door I see it around town most every day it's actually in pretty good shape.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an early Nova or Falcon sedan with a gasser option.

I wish, start with a '62 Nova hardtop and convertible, then a wagon. Then do new trim and interior for a '63/64 and finally do a '65.

I was just joking w/ the Tempo suggestion..trying to come up with something beyond boring, and not the usual predictable subject matter...

I'm not sure you can outdo Hasegawa and that Isuzu Gemini...

Or likely this:

 

 

 

Considering the Johan toolings are raggedy and $$$$, in addition to the MPC '69 AMX being 1/20th.

There's a quite decent new '64 Nova hardtop diecast out now (1/24). I hit mine with some Snake-Fu and it looks very nice sitting on my shelf.
