[Closed] George Schire I am surprised you haven't reacted to Michelle's announcement of 1:24 1928 Cadillac.

Probably because it’s out of his collecting realm

I know I'm still 'on the fence'. I've got ZERO-'20's in my collection. And very few 30s. Nearly ....

... all of us would've went after something from the 40s or 50s.
And I will go after the '63 Fleetwood if they do one.

As I've said before - there's no right or wrong answer ...just different.

Same, Billy Nothing representing the 1920's either. 1930 - a Duesenburg is currently my southern border. Nothing currently available pours on the excitement enough to crash the border. Time will tell how long this so far barren decade of collecting will continue to be unpopulated.

The gangster Capone armoured Cadillac from 1928 introduced to us here just yesterday holds no interest for me.
Other cars from this time might well do though. But the model would need to be especially significant in some way, either because of its design or perhaps an inovative engine, for example; a Stanley or Doble steam powered car.

But, I aint holding my breath.

I've replied to Michelle by email. A 1930's car is not going get me to buy one.

I have some 1920s cars, they’re quite charming in their own way!!

You maybe loosing sight of the truth here, George, that this model is the creation of a model maker who has aleady an existing range of models in mainly what appears to be 1/43. The 1928 Cadillac had already existed but only in 1/43. I imagine that the 1/24 model would have been issued anyway. Not because it was on any of our wish lists. As Chav has pointed out the hard development work had already been done to produce the Cadillac in 1/43. It was certainly planned prior to the invitation to us from Ms Peters to submit ideas for a new range of 1/24. Your time is yet to come, George, but come it will.

Bruce, You are correct in your analysis of the situation. This Manufacturer (as I have stated in earlier posts) chose the first 2 selections (without our input). You are also correct in that the reason that these models were selected was because the "test" could be conducted without significant further investment into tooling as the tooling existed in 1:43. If the test is successful we are hopeful/confident to have more input in the future.

Additionally, the entrance of another major manufacturer into the game will definitely allow us to move forward with some of the requested models.
