We need more '66 442's and '69 Boss 302's.

HWY61 did not issue many colors and I missed the original issues. Also need the prices below $100.

This is great news!

Having met some of the Acme guys at Amelia Island last March, I'm THRILLED! The H61 molds were legendary for me, and got me into collecting muscle cars when I was little. My bank account will hate me.

It's tremendous news if, IF, Acme resolves the poor metal foiling issue.

Given the beauty, accuracy and collectability of many of these diecasts I'm hoping Acme doesn't squander the opportunity, but instead comes up with far better foiling or preferably, chromed plastic. Otherwise we're going to be left with peeling "chrome" on cars for which there are no substitutes.

The foil looks great on the Red Cuda (Sox) and Black

Cuda (Martin) samples that we have received. In fact overall quality does really look nice.
