Message: George there are other Forum's such as JSS we are not the only voice on the subject! The cars you mention are all ones I would buy plus others. Earlier there was a comment(post) about the Dream Truck well that is for their(DM) custom series collectors which 1 car a year seems reasonable. I remember when Rod & Custom Magazine was building it through George Barris & it was a regular monthly feature. I currently subscribe to (Heaven Forbid I Say IT) Corvettes, Thunderbirds, Classic Cars-Preview Society. I did do trucks for most of them so I have had several cars per year. My point is the mints can't satisfy everyone and try to develop new areas fo collectors such as customs. George Barris did a Batmobile but to date no 1/24th Batmobile, lest we wait! I want a 53-53 Studebaker Hardtop have for years I have the 1/43rd & 1/18th but still no 1/24th go figure. The next would be a 61 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop. Some La Salle or Cadillac 's of the late 30's early 40's would be nice. I agree a 57 Olds would be nice too & a Buick Wagon from 57 a welcome addition should DM produce one. How about a 53-54 Ford or 55-56 Mercury. I would love a few Packards from the 30's thru the 54's but I'm spoiled by that brand and also jaded when it comes to Packards. Thunderbirds 64 thru 70 also.
