I've only glanced through the responses to this thread, but there are some cars that I think ought to be done too. I understand that we all have our personal wants list but we need to keep in mind that many of the cars already put up for consideration would be peg warmers for the most part... Can you say "Dart Phoenix"? From my own point of view, for any car at the premium price point where Auto World cars sell to sell well, it needs to be something that has either not done before, or not done to the same level of quality. It should appeal to a broad swath of the diecast collector market. Matchbox hit a home run with their Dodge A-100 pickup, for instance, as has Hot Wheels with their A-100 vans, which shows a market for early cab-forward pickups and vans. So how about a Corvair Rampside pickup or a Corvan/Greenbrier Sport Wagon? OK, Corvairs are my favorite car, but I'm using them as a case in point. Johnny Lightning did pretty well with their "Early Model" (1960-4, in the case of the JL's, 1962-3) Corvair coupe and convertible models, but nobody has ever had a decent "Late Model" (1965-9) Corvair in 1:64. I'd also love to see AW a 1961-2 Corvair wagon. Anyhow, other cars/trucks that fit my criteria above (different from what's been done in the past with collector appeal). These are only American cars, and just what I can think of off the top of my head. Sorry about my acknowledged GM bias!:

1973-77 GM "Colonnade" midsize (Chevelle, El Camino, LeMans, Cutlass, Century)
1973-77 GM "A-Specials": Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Cutlass Supreme, Regal
1977-79 Caprice/Impala coupe (and sedan, and station wagon!)
1992-96? Caprice station wagon
1975-80 Nova
1959-60 El Camino
1986-7 Monte Carlo Aerocoupe
1975-9 Cadillac Seville
1967 Pontiac Grand Prix
1986-7 Pontiac 2+2
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
1965 Buick Riviera GS
1st-generation Chrysler Cordoba
"Fuselage" Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge wagons
1969 Chrysler 300 Hurst
1970 AMC Hornet SC360
1957 Rambler Rebel
Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe
1971 Ford Torino GT Sportsroof
1970 Ford Country Squire

Marlin. I believe the 65 is considered a Rambler, the 66 and 67 are considered AMC. This is the forerunner of the AMX / Javelin.

I've been begging for one for decades.

I had a '65 when I was in the Navy 35 years ago. Loved that car.

More '50's and '60's wagons please!

Also, with the acquisition of the JL/RC storehouse of castings, maybe the Ertl American Muscle line can come back.

I hope I haven't said this already but AW should make a 66-67 Chevy II/ Nova sedan. Several companies have made 6 and 7 deuces but no ones ventured past the hardtop.

No pic necessary we all know what they look like.

I would like to see a 1:64 scale 1966 Chevrolet 2 door post, Biscayne or Bel Air with a L72 big block.
I have the Ertl 1/18 scale model in my office and a 1:1 scale ride in my garage.

I would suggest two models. I researched and found photos of old models Hubley and I think are good models for AW or JL produce in their new Castings (the Hubleys are impossible to buy):
