Hey Guys -

Just got these yesterday - with the Harley pickups - these are outstanding. Some more rides for the "Common Man".

They are on our temporary site for order if anyone is interested. http://www.mini-motorsonline.com

Thanks for the pictures! I've got the Fieros and K-Cars, and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of them! :thumbup:

I can hardly wait, those are nice looking rides for the common man, they must of swung a deal with Mopar though, 2 ponchos and the rest Mopars. Bring on the Chevy's, no seriously, I could do some serious damage to my cash flow when these babies arrive. That Aires is a clone of one I had, mine was a light green, and the woody wagon, pretty close to Chrysler K woody wagon, a little bigger I guess. Wish they would of made the 2 door version of either the Horison or the Imni though.

Bring on the Cherries. Strange the packaging doesn't say "series III" they look like more of series I.

Up until now they've neglected Mopars entirely (with the exception of AMCs which aren't really Mopars anyway). They've done the Vega, Chevette, '71 Mustang Sportsroof, Mustang II, Pinto, Maverick, Hornet hatchback, Gremlin, Pacer, and Matador coupe as well in the Fresh Cherries line. They've also got a '71 Impala, '76 Caprice, '57 Chevy, and a '78 Thunderbird in the American Graffiti line. A nice variety of cars- most of which are cars I've been wanting for years!

On a side note I'm a little disappointed by the Diplomat and Town & Country- both look like they've got chopped roofs. Aside from that, these cars are outstanding! :thumbup:

Yeah I agree, I am a big fan of the Cherries family and the American G line too.

Did JL puit out a Stang with Swifty on the plate?
or was it something else? I have the Wyatt Camaro, from JL and Wyatt has a good working relationship with JL


And speaking of Cherries I have an error Cherry, a white Maverick in a 1970 Pinto blister. but it has a Maverick card.

what series did that show up in. I don't have many Stangs but I would sure like tot get my hands on yours, it would look nice in a drag dio with Wyatt's Camaro. Sorry though Swifty, I'm betting on teh Camaro, Chevy guy you know.

:P

Nice wheels Swifty,

Want to trade a 69 Chevy T-hunt, and an Ottawa Senator 64 1/2 Mustang for one?

:P

Just kidding, I think :D

I have the fieros, all the rest I'll get one each of. is it just the angle of the picture, or does the T&C look a little "chopped"?

didn't Chrysler make those T&C's with turbo? I think there was a T&C turbo sedan in the movie "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles".

The roof is definitely chopped on the Town & Country, and the Diplomat is slightly chopped as well. The next generation of LeBaron (K-Car based) was the turbo era. These were the last of the rear wheel drive LeBarons. I actually hope they do a LeBaron coupe from 1978- that would be an awesome car!

I received mine the other day,and I think they did a good job on them,other than the roof being a little short on the "m-body" cars,the rest of them looks great.

I got most of the new cars/wagons yesterday. I thought it was interesting to note that the wood side trim on the LeBaron wagon is not just a tampo, as it is on JL wagons. Rather, this wagon was the wood trim molded onto the body, so even if you did detampo it, you would only get rid of the color, and not the wood that's molded in.

Even with a slightly chopped top, the wagon looks pretty good to me.

I recieved mine this morning and I'm very happy with them. I noticed that some have different scales on them though. Most say 1:60 on the base but the Diplomat and the LeBaron have 1:64 on the bases, prosumably so they can fit into the packaging.

There were a few folks from here who sent me emails - The FRESH CHERRIES have now been re-stocked and are available in our new online store.

MINI-MOTORS, Inc.

Few other exciting new items as well.

I picked this Town & Country Wagon up and the Horizon too. They came with a wonderful dio, The T&C with a country store, Pop machine Spare tires, Gas pumps that are in scale, not like JL's oversized things. And the Horizon came with a Garage, Tool box, pinups, Roll Dolly, etc etc. They look nice I'll try to get some pics.

I am very impressed with the quality of Mototmax's stuff lately, the detail is amazing, And I am looking forward to seeing more of these dio kits. Got mine at Wally's for about 8$ each.
