What is the one car you'd love to see done in 1/43? :confused: :thumbsup:

Only allowed one?

If so, the 1966 Jensen Interceptor - I know it was made as a contemporary "toy", however, I would love to see a modern 1:43 version.

A 1965 Buick Gran Sport 2 door hardtop.

If it is done already, I'm not aware of it, or it isn't a quality casting.

1947 Cadillac series 62 fastback coupe
1956 Chevrolet Nomad
1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL fastback coupe
1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL squaretop coupe
1963 Ford Country Squire
1979 Ford Ranchero
Jensen-Healey roadster
1950s Mercedes 300d wagon (yes, the few were made by specialty body shops)
Mercedes 600 Grosser coupe (yes, there were a very few coupes made)
1957 Mercury Colony Park wagon

Steve - two of those models you list are or have been available. Western released the Lagonda at some time - probably both in built up and in kit form. And I have the first generation Honda Prelude by Diapet (#G-118) in gold. - ranchero -

Same thing I always want, a Scrambler. :thumbsup: I have to admit, the 1979 Ranchero listed above would certainly be interesting. Along those lines, I've always wanted to see a 77-79 LTD II 2 door, with the two tone paint and the Magnum wheels. A pretty car that I've never seen in model form.

Any or all pre 1960 Plymouths. And I know the big guys like Brooklin et al made them, but something a little more affordable.

Late 1970s Aston Martin V8 vantage (-it has been done in white metal but that is over $100 for a car, beyond my pocket)
