I'm hoping that DM will finally get to producing the long awaited '52-'54 Fords!
My '48 Chevy is due to ship in April according to customer service. They wouldn't comment on any future releases.

I hope they still have the '53 hardtop on the way, too, its been over a year since I ordered one.

I had heard from DM that the 53 Ford was no longer in their production plans. :(.

I really like the '53 Ford Victoria's a lot..
I had one the same exact color as the one that DM was going to do in about 1980-85 and it only had 20,000 miles on it. I was planning to completely restore it and then someone came along and offered me some good dollars for it at a time when I needed the money (four kids, etc.) Interesting about the '53's is that it's the 50th Anniversity Ford, last of the flathead V8's, mine was automatic and I had a NOS, still in the box Coronado kit for it. The Coronado kit was more like a bump in the trunk rather than a Continental Kit and a factory add-on. It even had a special rubber trim in the kit. I thought they looked really sharp.

As long as they wait until after they do a 63 or 64 Pontiac Grand Prix.

I'm Sure the Tooling For the '53 Ford Is Among the "Captured Loot" In China...
Lo Mein odds we'll ever see production.

YES - 57 Olds in any model would be okay with me
