man I wish someone somewhere would acquire the ScaleKraft catalogue and repop them! I wonder what happened to the molds and/or originals? he had some beautiful rare stuff as Maxx and I agree.

I'll give it x3 on the ScaleKraft catalog - but include some re-pops from UMi and MiniExotics.

Show cars rarely get done - so how about the Mustang I prototype - the two seat mid-engine that started the name?

and the Mustang Giugiaro

Mustang Milano

Bertone Carabo

Saleen S7

Cadillac Northstar LMP

I'd love to find a good casting of a 1950 Buick. Too bad Modelhaus only makes the grille.

While under the list of missed opportunities : I just missed the '50 Buick 4 dr. Sedan offered in the Early days of resin . After long term saving I had the money and sent the caster the MO . BTW it arrived the week after he quit casting this one .

Thanx ..

All American Models is no longer in business. It was a resin casting company by Art Anderson.

I must have mistaken it for somthing else. I swear i did see several types of wagons using the

Revell 49 Olds as donor on ebay. It could have been a Pontiac maby.

The company that does those wagons is Best Model Car Parts.

As far as GM intermediates go, the '64-'72 are considered the most desirable because of their styling and performance. The '73-'77 models have better handling, and the '78-'87 (and '88 Monte Carlo) handle even better. I agree that cars from the '70s and '80s would appeal to younger modelers as this is the era they grew up in. I would start with a '73 442, '74 GS, '76 Regal or Century coupe, '77 Can Am, '78 Magnum, '77-'79 Ranchero GT, and a Ranchero GT from '70 or '72. I would also think a Mark III, IV or V would do well. For the '80s, a Monte Carlo SS in 1/25th would sell. Most of the '80s cars were forgettable, though I own two from that decade (El Camino and Riviera).
