Will R2 going to put any models this month?

For a new C-Body kit, my call would be to lead off with either a ‘70 300-H, done in moderate detail- similar to the new ‘71 Demon kit in detail level, or a ‘74 Monaco 4-door sedan, as a curbside similar to the Green Hornet Black Beauty. 

The ‘70 300 would demand an opening hood and engine detail, while you might be able to get by with a simplified Bluesmobile (although the 1/18 diecast Bluesmobile mentioned above does have an opening hood, and an engine bay that looks very right, so maybe that design work is already sort of completed?). 

Variants of the 300 could include: 300-H hardtop, standard 300 Hardtop, standard 300 convertible, and also, a 300-H Convertible, of which I think 1 or 2 were actually built. Different bodies would be required for the standard 300, due to the 300-H’s funky trunk lid (unless separate trunk pieces, like in the AMT ‘67 Mustang and Shelby GT-350 are designed). 

The standard 300’s could include some optional street machine or drag parts, to increase appeal. 

Greenlight does quite a few ‘74 Monacos in 1/64 and 1/24 diecast. There does seem to be a market for these besides as Bluesmobiles, as vintage police cars. These were pretty much the go-to patroller across the USA during the mid-70’s. I would go one step further and develop a Plymouth Gran Fury body for the kit, as many agencies used the Gran Fury, and Greenlight seems to have ignored that variant so far. 
 
I have a 1:1 ‘73 Chrysler Newport 2 door. It’s a GREAT driver. Whenever I take it out, I get positive looks and comments. They were just big boats in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, but now, interest in these cars has really increased. I would love to see a new C Body kit of any kind.

The problem IMHO is that there is no track record on these and it could very well be that if one company dares to put out some 70's C- body, or a mid '70 Ford wagon, it " might" sell like hot cakes,  cuz one has to realize that nostalgia is a powerfull thing, which flashes over the bad.
