Do we have a confirmation from WCPD that they will be creating other diecasts for us (othjer than the Caddy). Or is everything still on hold until enough sign up to purchase?

I spoke to Brian yesterday. He is heading to China early next month to inspect
The Cadillacs and when he goes he is bringing the final plans/blueprints for the 59 Chevy 4 door flat top and Nomad wagon. These are going to happen. Next on his agenda is the 61 Impala 2 door sedan and 63 Impalas. Work has begun on these two. After that, he said he would like to do the 61-64 Pontiacs.

Yeah! Bring on the Pontiacs!!!

What about the 57 Oldsmobilie's?
What is the status on that one? Brian was taking orders for it, and needed 1200 advance orders in order to get it produced.....is that still the case?
I want that car, more than any other car that any of the mints could produce!!!!

As of 9/02/08 there were only 281 pre-orders for the 57 Oldsmobile.
That only leaves 919 pre-orders left before production will begin.

Sorry, I didn't think to ask about those. He didn't mention them. I hope they will be done.

What happened to the '59 & '60 Pontiac?????

Me too Doug, me too.

Well.....I hate to say it, but doesn't look good for the 57 Oldsmobile then. On this forum, I've done everything I can do to get folks to call Brian and place their orders.
Perhaps there just isn't enough of us who want that car.
Thanks for ruining my day. 🙁
Should there be some who read this, and you are interested in seeing diecast of the beautiful 1957 Oldsmobile.....call Brian @ WCPD at this number:
1-818-712-9380
And when you do, tell him I told you to call.

'57 Olds
Last Oct. or Nov of 2007 was when I ordered two of these cars.If only 281 have been ordered in almost a year doesn't look likely they will be made to me.Thats really to bad to.It was a nice looking car

With regardst to the 57 Olds....
With no disrespect inteneded towards Brian @ WCPD, as I think the world of him and his cars......I just have to ask why, he hasn't done more to promote the 57 Oldsmobile on his WCPD website.
Seems to me that it should be noted on the site that the car is available for order, and maybe even an update as to the pre-orders that are placed, and how many are needed to get the car in production.
PLEASE EVERYONE.....CALL BRIAN AND PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR YOU VERY OWN 1957 OLDSMOBILE..... ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CALL.....1-818-712-9378. DO IT NOW!

26/09/2008 11:59 am
I had ordered one and then upped that to two earlier this year. Still hoping.

I also pre-ordered the '57 Oldsmobile.

1957 Oldsmobile are wonderful examples of great Harley Earl/GM Fifties design excellence and I'm absolutely certain many would really love them if they could only see them in hand and in person as models. We are also very lucky in 1/18th land to now have both the magnificent Highway 61 '57 Olds Super 88 coupes and the fine Yat Ming Super 88 convertibles. I'm sure WCPD would produce real 1/24th gems that would be a centerpiece of many collections.
