Is their any interest in having 1:18 models from Esval Models.
They are considering doing their 1929 Cord L-29 Coupe by Hayes for Count Alexis de Sakhnofsky and their 1937 Duesenberg SJ Town Car by Rollston in your scale if there is enough interest. To see their 1:43 catalog that illustrates these cars go to ESVAL MODELS BROCHURE.
This company makes top quality models at competitive prices and has built a wide dealer network that includes our own Legacy.

Based on what I saw at Countryside...YES, YES, YES!

If they're willing to try this scale, I'm willing to take a look.
Just like a brand new 1:1 model, I'd need to see it in my hand or at least rely on a credible reviewer.

Since their 1/43 models are magnificent, I am completely confident that 1/18 scale replicas from Esval would also be outstanding.

I'm in with a reasonable pricing. Yes to the 58 Packard Hdtp & 57 Stude Wagon.

I'd be interested in these as well.

Perhaps, but not at the expense of the 1/43 line. The L29 would be nice. Not as sure of the Duesenberg but that's my taste. Their price point would need to be competitive with Minichamps, etc, of course.

I'm in for L-29 Cord (even though I already have the Danbury Mint version) and 1937 Duesenberg. The pricing is apparently going to be around 240-250 euros or higher (three times the price of their 1/43s)

Maybe?
...before I jump on the "Yes" wagon, I'd like to see a track record of consistently high quality offerings in one scale. There's a temptation to be all things to all people and capitalize on the excitement of being new, but usually what results is a diminished product for everyone. This is a new company that would do best to sort it's R&D and production issues before venturing into new a new scale. I'd love the Pierce, btw....totally unrepresented, unlike the old DM Cord.
