...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?

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.

Station Wagon

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. :D
