You forgot one Crafty, a *very* important one. Mk III (1969-71) Much like the already done Caddy, the last *true* big boat was '76, like this Mk IV. BTW, a '76 Tbird would be most appropriate as well. '77 marked the start of downsizing...as shown with the Tbird lookalike above. While big, it is noticeably smaller than the 76. The 76s dwarf everything that came after. ![]() For reference on the Tbird. |

I have 3 1956 Continentals.Yat Ming made these.There is a seller on ebay with tons of NOS yat Ming cars.The Lincoln Premier you mentioned as being made by JL and MBX is a 1957.A 1956 Premier is much different except for the roof. |

Yes...I stand corrected. Yatming made these, then never released them until after the company folded. I have one as well. The seller you mentioned is clearing out the Yatming warehouse. Ask the seller if you don't believe me. So technically, the Yats were never issued, even though they were made. |

Since AW went big on Hemmings Muscle Machines for the release 3 new toolings...![]() From the march 2011 issue. This is probably my favorite car in my favorite color, and I've asking for it to be made since forever, but no one's picked it up yet... |

On a serious basis, looking at actual demand I've calculated off here and Facebook diecast places: International Travelall, pickup, Scout 90 and Scout II Well-done 70s/80s Chevy/GMC and Ford pickups & SUVs Willys wagon, pickup and Jeepster Jeep Gladiator, Cherokee Chief, stock XJ Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, CJ5 and CJ3B AMC Marlin, Gremlin, Pacer, Matador Coupe, Eagle Wagon, possibly Hornet AMX and/or Eagle SX4 1960 Plymouth, any body style Corvairs All 1960s-80s US vans, especially 1965-70 Chevy/GMC G-series, Ford Econoline, Dodge A100 and Corvair van, all plus 70s vans, as window vans, could easily be made up into mini school busses and airport shuttles) Lincoln Mark IV and Versailles Chrysler Cordoba/Dodge Magnum (sorry to bring them up again, but as pace cars, derby cars and oval-trackers, there is lots of inspiration) Hudson Hornet coupes (will be a major seller due to Doc fans growing up to enjoy real diecast) White, Brockway, Diamond Reo, Diamond T, Western Star or Mack hauler cabs with generic trailers & attachments Vintage travel trailers (a 1956 Shasta Airflyte, 1966 Aristocrat Lo-Liner, 1976 Vaquero and 1986 LiteHouse would be good to go with your eras of classic cars, and licensing easy if needed at all) Early motorhomes (Clark Cortez, Winnebago Indian, Travco 270, Ultra-Van, Chinook and possibly FMC &/or 1970s GMC), could be paired with a nice generic midcentury fiberglass boat on a trailer) Project-in-prorgess and beater cars (did very well for Jada, M2 and JL) |

Damn, I kind of hope it doesn't go like this... I like vans, pickups and trucks as much as the next guy, but that is just too much too fast. Kind of what Greenlight does with their police cars.

Oh, I'd love to see all of those eventually, and I'd probably pick them all up as well. I'm a little short on money right now, but I'm definitely a completisrmt when it comes to AW. |

So, I've sort of been holding back on this one, but since nobody else mentioned it: 1981-1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupe. JL sort of did this one, to save totally ripping it, let's just say that it was not up to my standards. I'm confident Auto World could knock it out of the park. I'd really love to see the 87-88 front end, some 442's, unique paint schemes, factory wheels and it would be really awesome to get the Brougham interior with the pillowed bench seats. ![]()

Well, JL's version wasn't bad for its time but... Yeah, it wouldn't hold up to what some companies are making nowadays. A new issue of this one would be sweet. |

Well, taking into account what AW's focus seems to be - which are sure ticket American muscle, wagons, and cruisers from the 60's to the 90's, I wouldn't expect them to produce anything foreign, or even outside of the big three. So with that in mind, I would like to see a 1973-1977 Colonnade body Olds from them. This would also offer the casting variations that AW is fond of… We're talking pre-'75 fastbacks, the more formal roof that came in '75. Indy Pace Cars, plain and padded roofs, "Hurst Hatch" t-tops, 442, Cutlass Supreme, and Hurst models, all built on the same essential car. ![]() 1974 Hurst Olds... ![]() 1973 Cutlass ![]() 1977 Olds 442 ![]() 1976 Cutlass Supreme |

Yes, sign me up for any and every GM Colonnade, especially the Oldsmobiles. As for the G-Body Cutlass from JL, I didn't feel that they captured the round at the bottom of the rear quarter windows correctly. The stance was the norm for its time, but doesn't fly today. Most of my gripes came from the details of the one Cutlass Supreme released: both the interior and exterior color were incorrect, moldings were in the wrong place and black (should be color keyed to vinyl top), grille surround should be silver not body color, c-pillar emblem should say "Cutlass Supreme" not simply "Cutlass". They never cast all the variations to represent each model year and trim level, which is something I know AW would. Edited by 96cutlass, Jun 25 2014, 08:44 PM.

An idea for a double pack... Put one land yacht with one tiny car, like a original Fiat 500, original Mini, 1st gen Civic, ect. I love the visual contrast between the smallest and largest cars of that era and I think that the visual appeal and novelty would move more units than a more run of the mill double pack. Potentially something as big as a Vega could be used as the 'small car' so long as the companion was suitably massive. |

A Falcon and a Fairlane, those are brilliant! Couple that with the 2-pack idea and you could have factory 2-packs of sorts, like take two similar cars, from a same automaker, but from different segments, a smaller one and a larger one. You could have one with a Falcon and a Fairlane, one with a Chevelle and a Nova, one with a Duster and a Roadrunner, one with a Dart and a Coronet... |
