Four Door Executive Hot Rod... [PIC]

Love it!    A true, under-rated sleeper that can hang with the best of them; this is a super cool or suffi-cool  model.  😏 😏      I sure wish Autoart would do more American sedans.

Chris, you have peaked my curiosity. Name a few that you would like to see. I for one would love to see that Cadillac wagon from a couple of years ago.

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG 4 passenger rocket ship can really deliver. Its naturally aspirated, 32 valve 6.2 liter DOHC V8 pumps out 451 HP redlining at 7600 rpm and 443 lb/ft of torque @ 5000 rpm. Mated to an AMG Speedshift 7 speed automatic, it'll take you 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and finish the 1/4 mile at 115 mph. Not bad for an executive car with all the luxe amenities Mercedes has to offer. Model by AUTOart.

Yuck…(lol).. it looks like a bar of carved melting soap to me. I’ll take the 450 SEL 6.9  from a few decades ago. I see THAT MBZ model as having “stature” in the road-going community. It exudes class and culture and I think it looks damn perfect compared to every design that looks identical on the road today. JMO 👍

"Chris, you have peaked my curiosity, please name a few that you would like to see."

Any post-war American make/model up through 2011 (when sedans starting going away )....but especially 1950's - early 1970's.     Even if I live another 50 years, I probably won't see any except a few in sealed resin - which doesn't work for me.      🙄 🙄 🙄 

@100ford2003   You mean this amazing piece of machinery?

It's one of my top 3 MBzs.

@gdh 

Yes Sir !! Provide me with a blank check and that MBZ is mine.

I like 50s-early 70s before those massive “railroad tie / bumpers” messed up automotive styling.

I’d like to see a full function Cadillac V (?) station wagon in 1/18. Come on AutoArt !!

I remember on another website, the subject came up about AutoArt making more American cars.  Some members asked them to and AutoArt responded that American cars don't sell well enough world wide.

"....AutoArt responded that American cars don't sell well enough worldwide."

I'll accept that, but it's a shame.   When they do tool American sedans, they're nicely done.      😉 

@100ford2003  Do you mean this Caddie estate:

@gdh ....I believe Steve is referring to the CTS V-series Cadillac wagons - which are available in 1/43.  

@gdh 

Heck no…🤣 That, IMO, is an abomination and should be delivered to the nearest crusher.
