No interest in this "ramp truck" for me.

I would however be delighted to see any '50s or '60s vintage Dodge half ton.

 

Preferably one of these.

Make it a Olds 98 Holiday Coupe or 98 convertible and I'm with you.

Im afraid at this point.

I'll take what i can get. Just not in 1.18th scale. They take up way to much room on the shelf.

I've kinda given  up hope of a stryene kit ever happening

Id buy them too.

This would be nice... just don't like the side trim, makes the truck look bent..

It is kind of wonky.

But that's how the truck looked.

 

Maybe something a little later.

Now that one I like..

[CapSat 6]

You know I keep stumping for this...we need a '62-'71 Dodge Pickup kit. 

I believe I read that Moebius / Model king is doing a ramp for their Ford truck kits soon.

The Fords seem to be doing well sales-wise. I think a '60's era Dodge pickup kit would sell surprisingly well.

 

 

[RichCostello]

I'd vote for any of the 57 Oldsmobiles, I think they were the best looking cars to come out of 1957.

[Richard Bartrop]

I could go for the '57 Olds, though one of these I could really go for.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Put me down fer all of 'em. Dem's my kinda vehicles.

Now I go wipe drool off my tablet lol.

[Bills72sj]

Here is an old OLDS I want to make.

[Richard Bartrop]

Of course, I'd really love to see a decent kit of one of these, but I'm told I shouldn't talk such foolishness.

[Deuces ll]

Yeah, I can see putting a Hemi in one of those..... ???

Model sales in general have probably gone from I’m guessing 25% of “kids” (mostly boys) building and buying several a year in the 60’s and 70’s to maybe under 5% in the 2000’s.  Video games, Lego, and a lot of boring new cars That all look the same are all responsible as is the demise of ToysRus and Walmart selling kits and Hobby shops disappearing every day.  If there is any hope of reaching the younger market they need to find a way to reach them or you may see mostly re-issues and diecast cars to keep them in business for the next 20 years which by then all our old unbuilt kits will end up on Ebay all at once and drive prices down.
