A 2-Door hardtop coupe in the Cream/Gold Luxury Group would be my fav.

Sorry, Shel, but it's a real yawner. A model no one has pleaded for, understandably. Just my opinion, understand. So many good models are waiting to be done, and they come up with this?

I sense a trend -- Neo's homage to 70s American Luxo-barges

It will go great with their 72 and 76 Coupe deVille, 75 Chrysler Imperial, 76 Lincoln sedan,73 Lincoln MKIV, and Buick Estate Wagon all of which look better as Neo models than as 1:1

It was an era of fussy pointy trim details, and angular shapes -- great for manufacturers that can supply such detail. Fortunately for Neo, they pretty much nailed these subjects, including colors. And the trim has been staying in place, too.

But yeah, id rather have the 60s versions of the above subjects.
