I hope it means a new color and a hardtop!

Damn, usually when the PS cars come out, they are available for quite a long time. I have a feeling this one will be back.

Chinese New Year later this year (the shut dn) so factories just now starting up. They are lagging.
I am having trouble getting my factories started due to not enough orders yet and they don't want to start before they can make an order cost productive. My partner just returned from China & he says there are lots of 1:1 cars backed up as they can't sell them. Duh a $20,000.00 car to a person making $3.00 an hour, triple what they earned last year. Then the factory only wants to train people once which adds another problem to the mix. China claims Europe is not buying anywhere near what they once did and 2011 was worst year for orders from Europe. China bitches it's Europe and us who screwed them up nevermind they have been manipulating the currency (Govt) too! It is a Mess!

When DM works out the supplier issues, the '59 Pontiac will continue. The '56 Buick conv. however, is definitely sold out, and will not return....Hang in there guys, keep the faith!
