What else maybe considered by Esval.
Rusty Hurley posted link to pictures from the Nuremberg Toy Fair Pictures.
Just looked at the pictures from the Esval booth.
The 1928 Capone Cadillac is shown in 1:43 and 1:18. This why they are doing it in 1:24, the R&D is done, now they just have to rescale it. Relatively low risk, perhaps they decided not to do it in 1:18 ... I hope.
However if you want to lobby for something else that is already developed, here are some ideas: https://fs-hobby.jp/feature/photo-report/toymesse2019/esbal-m/
I personally like the 1953 Kaiser and the 1939 Cadillac.

That makes good sense

For what its worth, Chav, I'll back you up with the 1939 Cadillac at least. And maybe other Esval models after I see what they have.

A 1:24 '39 Cadillac -OR- 'LaSalle'...would be a very nice choice.

Actually they have the 1928 Cadillac shown in 1:24 ...
See the picture bellow, we known the left model is 1:18, the right model is too big to be 1:43 (1:24 is about the 3/4 the size of 1:18, and 1:43 is about 3/8 of 1:18). Also the blurry scale number in the background label is more reminiscent of "24" than "43".
Esval likely had this prototype for some time, they probably didn't want to announce it here until the Nuremberg toy fair 2019 started on Jan 30'th, the next day Michelle announced here. So, I guess, the discussion here was just to get clues for future models, Esval already knew what they are going to offer first.

Had a quick look over Esvals 1/43 scale with a view to expanding these out to 1/24. From what has been listed, and because of my filters, few take my personal fancy as potential releases in 1/24.
Looking at American cars only, would be the
1920 Pierce Arrow either sedan or roadster.
1941 Studebaker President Sedan
1931 Cord L29 Roadster
1939 Cadillac Open
1942 Packard 8 Pass Limo.
There are other models of American cars, a 1948 Tucker Torpedo convertible and a Studebaker Station Wagon from 1957 as examples, that others may like to see in 1/24. Who knows.

I think I would just about kill for any LaSalle in 1:24- 1934-1940 OMG! Heaven.

Always been a LaSalle fan. Years ago, I nearly bought a 1:1 '40 LaSalle sedan that had been...
...mildly modified into a street rod.
She was quite a sight to see....STUNNING.
