Another 1958 Chevy.....

We truly do not need more of those 1958 models lol.

I’m wondering just who’s doing their marketing research ?

@100ford2003 someone from 1958 🫣🫣🫣🫣

I like this replica car and their example of it. My family had a beautiful 1958 Chevrolet and I am glad there are various model replicas of it out there. I have an older Ertl version. As always, if you like it consider purchasing it and if not, simply move on to a car that pleases you and you can afford.

@mikedetorrice ..you're missing the point, Mike.   Yes, of course, ALL consumers have the right to "purchase or walk away,"  etc., etc., etc...  😐 🤨 🙄 

What we're saying, however, is why invest precious capital in tooling 1/18 models that already exist in several liveries & styles.   

Why not TOOL up more never before seen  1/18 replicas like their very nice looking 1955 DeSoto Fireflite Sedans?

Another 1/18 '58 Chevy appears  to be piss-poor strategy & marketing research when a 1/18 '54 Mercury, '58 Oldsmobile, or '65 Ford, for example, would suggest  greater profits. 

🤔 🤨 🤔 🤨 

I like that two tone green but I have enough 58 Chevys in 1/24 form.  Your point is taken, Chris, it could only be worse if it was another 57 Chevy or 59 Cadillac.   

Obviously, a consumer can choose to purchase or not purchase a particular replica. There are a number of considerations that consumers/collectors make when they obtain a model.

Don't like it ? Then don't buy it. It is very simple and each person will decide for themselves how viable something is.

Sometimes people will rely on the "always truthful and accurate" internet or a "completely correct" photograph to make definitively negative final judgements on an item. I recall a couple of people on the old Diecast Pub who howled and made absolute dismissive final judgements based on a single photograph, yet they couldn't photograph their own thumb in front of the lens.They also viewed that image on completely unknown equipment in a completely unknown viewing environment.

@whodeytink   Precisely!  😉

@mikedetorrice   Once again, you've missed the point.    Your retort isn't germane to what's actually being discussed.   No one's questioning "consumer choice"  or "scale accuracy."            

I appreciate what you're saying, I just don't know why you're saying it.

Because people seem to miss the point and are immediately critical based on the interpretation of a single un-sourced online photograph. 

@mikedetorrice CORRECT.... that does happen, but that's not what we're discussing.    😯 😯
