Well, we did this once before, a year or so ago, and while we didn't get everything that everyone wanted, we certainly took a good broad swipe at a bunch of stuff on that list.

Nothing succeeds like excess, so I'm asking everyone to list THREE new castings they would most like to see JL do--things we DON'T have castings for. Items like the TV Batmobile aren't gonna happen, for reasons that have been discussed endlessly on this board, so don't waste a vote there. Anything from the 1886 Benz Patentwagen (or the 1769 Cugnot steam wagon, frankly) forward is game.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

1954 Buick Skylark (already enough '53's in other scales)
The Harley Earl Buick "Y" job
'63 Raymond Lowey designed Avanti
'67 Cadillac DeVille Convertible.......you can use the '68 Johan kit for specs and with new tooling methods, get at least two years out of it including top up or top down variations. :)

Since Adam has one, you can take as many pics of grills, bumbers,script writing, hub caps, interior, motor all day long.

Would you take two sets of three suggestions? One for the JLTO's and a set for the soon-to-be-made JLFF's (Afx magnatractions).

JLTO's - El Camino, Corvair, AMX

JLFF's - Ford Pinto, late 70's Monte Carlo, AMC Gremlin.

1970 Pontiac Ventura - you could use minor mods and have a Catalina or Bonneville also

1974 Pontiac Ventura (the little one) and with minor mods you could have a GTO

1977 Can Am - Le Mans body

The 4th thing I want is you to use my car for the 1977 Special Edition Trans Am coming out in the Firebird Series

Okay,

1.) Little Red Wagon plastic diecast for JLTO. Just "lift" the interior surface of the bed from the JL diecast and insert shortened chrome diecast motor.

2.) Corvette Nomad plastic diecast for JLTO. Use the paint jobs you did for Thunderwagons and watch us swoon!

3.) Dodge '04 Magnum wagon. Diecast AND for Magnatraction.
