I was at the I-Hobby expo in Chicago today . Motormax was there with some of their stuff on display . The new Chrysler Town & Country wagon was there in 1/64 & 1/24 scale .. it looks awesome !! Also had 1/64 Granada , Reliant & Omni there . They said these should be out in Jan '08 .. The rest of their display was current items . I asked if the 1/24 Comet & 1/87 Bobcat may be done in 1/64 , & was told not at this time ... Oh well ....

That's cool! I'll be looking for the Omni. That was the first new car my wife and I bought after we got married. Thanks for the info!

An exciting year! Thx for the info

Too bad the Comet and Bobcat won't be done in 1/64 scale. I would rather have seen these than the Omni and Reliant. Wonder if they will ever do a Mercury Monarch, since it is close to the Granada?

That is wonderful news, finally one of the most wished cars in 1/64 for Fresh cherries, The Ford Granada, will be launched. :woohoo:
Is great to hear also the launch of the Dodge Omni, and I Imagine that the Plymouth reliant must be a slightly modified Dodge Aries that was already launch. :eek:

PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Great news for 1/64 but was there any new stuff for 1/87

Hopefully the Granada will be done in 1/24 also, it will be fun to trash one.

The Reliant might be the Dodge Aires, they look the same to me & Reliant is the name I remember . I would like a Monarch also . I owned one a long time ago ... I didnt see any new 1/87 cars ...

What year is that Granada going to be?? My grandparents had one... and the whiskey revenuer from the Dukes of Hazzard drove a dark blue one...

That's cool! I'll be looking for the Omni. That was the first new car my wife and I bought after we got married. Thanks for the info!

My first new car as well. :woohoo:

Hope they make one in Ice Blue.

I can't wait for the Granada!

Any picstures yet of what the GLH omni looks like. I have had 2 GLH turbo's and have been looking forward to this release for a while now!

The Granada was the first style .. 76 - 77 ...

I hope the Horizon could be the 78-80 4dr hatchback version, the Granada the 75-77 4dr sedan, I´m anxiuos for the 1/60 diecast cars, PLEASE PICS OF THAT CARS!!!

I can't WAIT for the Granada!
I'm old enough to remember that car, and I was so in love with its design--in spite of its boxiness.

was there any new stuff for 1/87

Motormax did have the '56 Ford pickup in 1/87. This one is not listed on their web site. Dark blue and light blue were on display. I was able to buy the light blue one. Pretty nice casting although the vent window is filled and painted silver.

Did they have any info on the 1:64th scale dioramas?

i would like to see a rep from motormax come in here with sneak peeks once amonth starting in 08.
this would give us a boost as to what is to be had and what is in the future for 08.
i have turned my collection around and im buying more 1/87th scale stuff than 1/64th
i also would like to see some tow trucks made afew 20's and 30's cars also.
just and idea. what do you guys think???

Mark-I don't recall seeing anything regarding the dioramas but I was distracted by the AG Boss Mustang that I haven't found in retail stores and the 1/87 Pickup.

I agree. A monthly Motormax update would be great with what to expect. I've collected 1/87 for a while and it is absolutely fantastic that there is more focus now on 1/87 vehicles, especially at the current quality and price level.

1/87th '56 Ford pickup? That come in a Wild Cherries case? I've yet to see one. I've had a heck of a time finding the Mustang and Hornet, only two Wal-marts anywhere near me carry them, one hasn't put anything new out in months, the other got some and I got the last two Mustangs. I had to get the Hornet from a train show vendor.

:woohoo: a new wagon :thumbsup:

Cool back in 1976 1977 I used to drive a Ford Granada in Drivers education in High school. Has anyone heard whether or not they going to release anymore AMC Gremlins in new colors this coming year? Doug Phillips

Its cool they are coming out with a Ford Granada. I used to drive one in drivers education in high school in 1976 and 1977. Has anyone found out whether they are going to release anymore 1974 AMC Gremlins in new colors in 2008? Doug Phillips

I haven`t bought anything from this brand yet but I definately will be buying at least 20 omni`s for customs.I love these cars.Absolute blast to drive.I`ve had 8 GLH-T turbo omni`s ,1 GLHS omni,and 1 ice blue stock grandma omni with a full Shelby GLHS full conversion done to it. :thumbsup:
Now all they need is a 89 dodge daytona shelby.

I had a 1988 Horizon 2.2 5-speed that was pretty quick. Not a turbo but still could outrun a good number of 4-bangers back in the day.

I keep holding out hope for MotorMax and the Fresh Cherries line but here in western WA they don't seem to move fast enough for anyone to get fresh stock - I'm still waiting to see the Gremlin-X!

How about a Pontiac Astre?

I'm still waiting for the Ford Maverick and Honda Accord in HO scale; the "Coming Soon" on the website is getting old and it's starting to look like there is a problem. Coming Soon should mean exactly that, not a wait of 6 months or more.

A monthly update would be something that we would appreciate and if there are delays in a product launch, tell us!

Has anyone heard wheather they will be making anymore 1974 AMC Gremlins in different colors this coming year?

Hear Hear.. I love 1/87 FC models, and I too am wondering where the 1/87 Honda Accord and 1/87 Ford Maverick are in the release schedule for Fresh Cherries. :(

Any news??
