The story of the Ford Vedette is an interesting one...

And it has a beautiful French cousin, the Ford Comete, with bodywork by Facel.

This is a '54 Monte Carlo coupe...

Alan, you say you are looking for a Mercer Raceabout to compliment your Aurora Stutz.

Were you aware that Bandai produced a 1/16th scale kit back in the 70's?  Maybe worth a look on Ebay?

Watched Blues Brothers with college kids. They all thought it was dumb. Narrow audience. Sad but too old I think.

I'd like to see an '81 Malibu. Revell already has the chassis/drivetrain with the '83 Oldsmobile. They could span different years with a simple tail light, nose piece and seat pattern swap.

Zero chance, but I’d like to see a kit of a Chrysler K car. With just a few extra pieces, it could be a 2 in 1 kit containing options to build a Dodge Aries or Plymouth Reliant. Derivatives can be made too, such as coupes, wagons, Chrysler LeBaron, etc. 

Although, given their boxy, compact, and simple design, K cars would lend themselves well to 3d printing.

I said it before, I'll say it again. BAJA BUG! The wide eyed version would be nice and the front bumper nerf bars and a rear cage would be nice. I have a Revell '68 bug kit just waiting for this day. Also, the old Jackman style dune buggy Baja wheels would be nice.

I would be a buyer for a Baja Bug kit. I used to have a '67 with the earlier headlights in the center style. Impi solid steel wheels and 10.00 x 15 floatation rear tires.

In the mid-eighties, I think it was MPC that issued a Datsun 620 4x4 kit that had Jackman-style spokers and big (for that era) mudders.  My son had one -- the kit, I mean; yellow plastic.

Hi,

I'm "late to the party" but may I add my wants to the list.....

1962-3 Ford Falcon Futura (I had a red '63 with buckets and factory 4 speed)

2015-22 Ford F150 (other than Raptor or Super Duty)... there are so many of these out there (I had two) and no model kits.

Even though it has been done in diecast , I would love to see a DIVCO made into full detail plastic kit

I would like to build a model of a Baja Bug I owned years ago. I have seen the "wide eyed" style, but mine was somewhat different.

It's a funny thing...  I have a resin Divco that was done by Ron Cash way back when.  I was looking for a chassis and how to scratch build the interior,  find suitable decals etc.

Then Danbury Mint came out with their Divco.  I bought it and ya know,  there is no way I could top theirs as a model.  So that just scratched my itch and I'm done!
