...you could manufacture your own diecast line? Oh, I know, I know, this has been done to death. Still, tastes change. What if you could make TWENTY toolings? What would you do? Note: NO muscle cars in this line. They've been done to death. Coupla ponies here and there though. I chose ones that haven't really been done in this scale. Here's mine: 1) 1964 MERCURY MARAUDER HARDTOP COUPE Black over red 2) 1966 CHRYSLER IMPERIAL HARDTOP SEDAN Beige over caramel 3) 1965 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA White over red 4) 1962 CHEVY II STATION WAGON Sky blue metallic over sky blue 5) 1964 STUDEBAKER GRAN TURISMO HAWK Red over black 6) 1966 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS SPORTS COUPE torquoise metallic over torquoise 7) 1963 FORD GALAXIE TOWN SEDAN Creme over taupe 8) 1965 OLDSMOBILE STARFIRE COUPE Maroon metallic over dark gray 9) 1960 MERCURY COMET 2 DOOR Pale gray over gray 10) 1961 PLYMOUTH VALIANT 4 DOOR Red over red 11) 1966 RAMBLER MARLIN Silver over black 12) 1965 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE Black over black (almond top) 13) 1960 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE HARDTOP SEDAN Red clay brown metallic over gray 14) 1968 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER CONVERTIBLE Pale gray over dark blue 15) 1964 FORD COUNTRY SQUIRE Off white over red 16) 1962 DODGE 880 HARDTOP COUPE Steel blue metallic over black 17) 1969 CADILLAC COUPE DE VILLE Black over black 18) 1960 MERCURY PARK LANE HARDTOP COUPE Creme over gray 19) 1962 STUDEBAKER LARK STATION WAGON Almond over brown 20) 1960 RAMBLER AMERICAN Seafoam green over seafoam green Okay, now how about yours? |

Wow! Nice list George. Esp like the Imp and '60 Merc Park Lane choices. Here's my list with out muscle cars as stipulated. 1). 1975 Chrysler Cordoba 2.). 1967 Chrysler Imperial hardtop 3). 1973 Imperial LeBaron 4 door hardtop 4). 1970 Plymouth Fury GT 5). 1974 Impala Stationwagon & sedan 6). 1956 Mark II Continental 7). 1975 Chevy Malibu Wagon 8). 1976 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop sedan 9). 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser 10). 1963 Chrysler Newport Wagon 11). 1960 Lincoln Continental 12). 1955 Mercury Monarch 13). 1964 Ford Galaxy Wagon 14). 1975 Buick Riveria 15). 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo 16). 1973 Caddy DeVille 4 door sedan 17). 1978 Lincoln Mark V -Sure Mb did one but it was horrible. 18). 1980 AMC Spirit Liftback. 19). 1973 Dodge Coronet Wagon 20). 1971 Buick Estate wagon Would like to see alot more 70s iron in diecast. This is the direction I'd go if I had the $ to start my own company. I suspect four or five of my choices actually might have a shot of being made. The rest are just dreams.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Hmn! Tough decision though I'm liking some of the ideas I see here! I think I'd do 5 subseries: Classics, Wagons, '80s, '70s, and Squad Cars Classics: 1. '56 Continental MK II is a biggie. Gotta do it. 2. '61 DeSoto 3. Gotta have a Marlin but I'll go with the '67 AMC Marlin. 4. '53 Studebaker Starliner '80s: 5. '79-'86 Mustang 5.0 hatchback 6. A nice stock MK III Toyota Supra targa 7. '88 Toronado 8. Taurus SHO Wagons: 9. AMC Eagle wagon 10. '75 Ford Country Squire wagon 11. '70 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser 12. '70 Chrysler Town & Country '70s: 13. '75 Nova 14. Bricklin SV1 15. '78 Challenger 16. '77 Thunderbird Squad Cars: 17. '75 AMC Matador 18. '85 Ford LTD (Fairmont based, not the full size Crown Victoria) 19. '64 Impala 20. '77 Monaco wagon The next 20 castings will all be muscle cars so I can turn some sort of profit... |

Nice choices, folks. Among Rob's: I'd love to see a Lamborghini LM0002. I actually saw one at a car show back around 1990. A Cayenne would never have a chance against that one. |

I'd like to get a nice casting of a 65 Chevy Van. I had one during the pre-internet days. I remember driving it to the Pep Boys there in Woodbury N.J. and having the guy at the parts counter try to convince me that Chevy never made such a thing. |
