There are always things that i would love to see, and maybe if I throw some of the ideas out there, Greenlight will make it happen.

Hot Pursuit / Police
1) Interior lights/light bars. Especially the back deck bar would be really cool. I think that we have been severely deprived of unmarked or "undercover" police units. These interior light bars would be subtle, but a must for any unmarked unit. Which brings us to our next item
2) Unmarked Units. (primarily crown vics but chargers could work as well) Black, White, Gray, Blue.....any color will work as long as it is distiguishable from a plain Crown Vic with pushbars and interior lights and cop wheels. No roof light bars though.
3) What about future castings? A Chevy Suburban casting would have a bunch of applications, especially in all black as an unmarked unit of FBI.
Come to think of it, in the future with a few more dedicated police castings, you could have a Black Bandit/Hot Pursuit merge for one series and have 6 different all black Secret Service/FBI type schemes.
4) a 76 Trans Am Cop Car Please.
5) I would love to see somebody put out light bars and such as like an accessory pack so us hobby guys could customize our own police cars. Greenlight has a nice selection already, and I think they could make a killing with a hobby set of some sorts.


Other Ideas

More Project cars. Maybe a series of before and afters. 3 POS versions and 3 Completed. And step out of the box a little. Maybe mock up a spare tire to put on some cars( you know, a donut) and chalk writing like JL used to do. Maybe missing the hood. And perfect some rust.

What about diorama pieces? The little garage tools were a hit from what i can tell, how about a garage to put them in. They would be awesome as displays as well as for the kids(adults) to play with.

Trailers and Pick-ups to tow them would be great as well(realistic ones, not like the ones from maisto). Who wouldnt want to put their Favorite Hemi Cuda on a trailer behind a 2003 Dodge Ram with a Hemi? Or thier brand new camaro on a trailer behind an 80's Blazer (the big one), or their favorite mustang being pulled by an 09 F-250?

Last but not least, I desperatly need some castings of Firebirds/Trans Ams from 1973-1981 with the screaming chicken decal on the hood. Please, tell me this is coming soon!

I really like the idea of the undercover cop cars!

Was there a Trans Am police car?

The trailers and additional diorama accessories would be awesome as well!

I'm always up for more Firebirds / Trans Am's etc. :thumbsup:

GL has done a couple of "Barn Finds" with mismatched wheels and the fenders needing a fresh coat of paint. A "Before & After" series would be great in my opinion using the GL 2-pack packaging.

More accessories and/or a scene (like a 50's drive in) or garage would be welcomed into my collection. Though I would like them to be an entire garage or at least 3/4 of it and big enough to hold/display a few cars unlike Motor Max's offerings (not trying to put them down, but they are going in the right direction).

I agree, bigger than the motormax ones. I have a bunch of them, but they are way too small.

Still hoping for some Mod-Top Mopars in 1/64.

Yes,
There were tons of Police cars made from Trans Ams.
Granted, most were DARE cars (one was even a 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am), there was a city in Georgia, I can't spell it at the moment, but pretty much their whole force was Trans Ams.
I believe from 1977 to around 1979.
White cars with light bars.
Pretty cool.

I am a Trans Am nut, and would love more Trans Ams!
Greenlight does alot of Pace Cars, how about Pace Car Trans Ams?
The 1979 Daytona 500 Trans Am
The 1980 Daytona 500 Turbo Trans Am
The 1980 Indy 500 Turbo Trans Am
The 1982 Daytona 500 Trans Am
The 1983 Daytona 500 Trans Am
The 1984 Daytona 500 Trans Am
The 1985 Daytona 500 Trans Am
The 1989 Indy 500 Turbo Trans Am (they do the regular version, now just put some decals on the car ;) )
1993 Daytona 500 Trans Am
1994 Daytona 500 Trans Am (this was a 25th Trans Am, so they could do 2 versions)
1996 Daytona 500 Trans Am
1999 Daytona 500 Trans Am (also, it was a 30th Trans Am, so again, they could do 2 versions)
2002 Daytona 500 Trans Am (again, a Collector's Edition Trans Am, so they could do 2 versions as well, this was a T-Top car-as well as making festival cars that are ragtops).
I even fell in love with the 2001 IROC Trans Am Pace Car! Hint-Hint!:thumbsup:

On top of that, do some 1969 and up Trans Ams.
They make enought cars, why not put some two packs together.
Say like the 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am?
One regular, one as a Pace Car.
I would also love to see all the Anniversary Trans Ams done.
Almost all of them paced the Daytona 500 (The 20th TTA didn't, it paced Indy, too bad it didn't pace daytona too, like the 1980 TTA did).

See, I do love Trans Ams :tongue:

George :cool:
Make a 5 or 6 car set with these.

Oooooh, how did I forget station wagons!!!!!!!! I too love Station Wagons, and its so nice to finally see JL and Matchbox making some......even hot wheels has given us some. My favorite is JL's caprice estate with the paneling.

Love all the themes mentioned, But I think the truck one would be the coolest!!. Remember how the MM Harley Davidson trucks were a big hit and were selling like wild here. They were hard to get (here at least). I had to go to 2 TRU's to complete my set!! I would like to see all types of trucks, but to me the Dually has seemed to be neglected in our beloved 1/64 scale. I know Ertl has done some and and I think it was Action who did the race themed ones pulling the race car trailer, but I would like to see some stock F-350's Quad cabs, A Chevy Duramax Quad, a Dodge and so on. Think of how cool it would be to display some of our favorites cars getting pulled by a nice Pickup. Maybe even a 3 car trailer should be in the works as well. The custom ones on ebay always sell for a pretty penny!! I think the truck and trailer idea is killer and I hope GL reads this post!! :)
