Question...Why do you think the mints have not produced any 1952's in 1.24? I find it odd.

My guess is due to mostly co-incidence. Like with Ford's, the '51 Vicky was the first Ford 2DHT, and the '53 and '54 are somewhat similar to the '52 and they haven't been made either. I've been surprised that the '53 hasn't been built since is the 50th Anniversity car, was the Indy Pace Car, etc. If we look at other manufacturers, it's probably somewhat the same situation. Just my guess.

Yeah, I agree, James. The '53 Ford seems like a no brainer, even if it's not exactly my fave.

James and Gene...you could be right. But the point is, there have been NO 52's. While every other year of the 50's has had at least one car for each year. Just seems like 52 is just plain overlooked. And I have to believe there is at least one car of the 52 model year that should/could be a much cherished collectible.

No arguement from me Steve. DM can bring 'em all on and I'm in for all of 'em.

I'm still waiting for 1954 diecasts. Olds, Mercury, Pontiac, Buick, Ford, Lincoln,
Studebaker, Nash, Hudson, Packard, Kaiser and probably more that I can't recall at the moment.
