[Closed] A (unnamed) manufacturer is planning a series of 1960 GM cars.

There are several that have been offered previously, including these that I'm aware of:

1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan 4-door hardtop (Brooklin)

1960 Pontiac Bonneville Vista 4-door hardtop (Brooklin)
1960 Pontiac Catalina(?) Vista 4-door hardtop (Western Models)

1960 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight(?) 2-door hardtop and convertible (Western Models / WMCE)

1960 Buick Electra 225 4-door hardtop (Neo)(resin)
1960 Buick Flxible Premiere ambulance (Neo)(resin)

1960 Cadillac Sedan DeVille 4-window 4-door hardtop (Conquest)
1960 Cadillac -- various body styles? Who can tell us which styles this has been offered in? (Brooklin)

Regardless, there are many opportunities among the 1960 GM cars, and we could certainly use an expanded range of the Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick offerings.

I'd particularly love to see the Electra 225 Riviera Sedan:

To which I'd add:

'60 Chevy El Camino (Design Studio)

'60 Impala convertible in several iterations (Brooklin and PTH)

'60 Impala two-door hardtop (MiniMarque, Conquest, PTH)

'60 Pontiac Parisienne Vista hardtop (Western)

'60 Pontiac Catalina convertible TD (Brooklin)

Thank you, Rick! I knew that you could fill in my gaps!

Oops. Wrong year.

Brian, I'm not sure what '61 you refer to in your list. Is that a typo, and were you thinking of the '60 Parisienne Flattop from Western? I know it was available in turquoise in addition to the bronze one I have. Always regretted not getting the turquoise one when I had the chance.

Sorry I did mean 1960's (1960-1969), not 1960 only.

Yes, a typo, and I was not sure of the series. I'll correct the model year.

In that case, there are scores of individual models that have not been produced in 1/43.

Apart from the 1960 models mentioned above, I'm aware of the following 1960's GM's that have been replicated in 1/43. I'm certain that there are many more than I am unaware of, particularly with regard to Cadillac.

1962 Cadillac (Conquest)

1963 Oldsmobile Starfire (Brooklin)

1965 Chevrolet Impala (Brooklin)

1967 Buick Wildcat (Brooklin)

'60 Chevrolet Impala 2dr ht by AAM

I'm sure we dont need to list the Conquest, made of 100% Unobtainium.

Neo had several 65 and 68 pontiacs and their excellent 68 Eldorado

PremiumX did a 66 Cadillac Fleetwood
Neo did a 64 and 70 GTO, both in dull colors
Brooklin 1961 Ford sedan

I cant think of others, there are so so many unrepresented American subjects from the 60s. Too bad Neo didn't spend so much time in the 70s and 80s instead of more 60s, or with GLM's 90s Cadillacs.

Plus I really don't count many 1960 subjects as "60s" since so many were carry-over designs from 1959.

Egad, there must be many from the '60s, from Franklin Mint's series to Matchbox Collectibles ('67 Pontiac GTO, Camaros), to NEOs, to more Brooklins like the Corvair Monza and Greenbrier and '61 Impala coupe, to the Madison '65 Pontiac Bonnevilles and Motor City GTOs and '62 Impalas. Listing every GM 1:43rd ever made of the '60s decade is a mighty task.

The "unnamed builder" should start with Jerry Rettig's book, NEO catalogs, and the Brooklin catalogs but even then they won't begin to cover them all. What about such brands as Road Champs, Road Signature, etc.?

Hello Dick, this manufacturer, with Cadillac, have a lot of possibilities, and could make those:

-1960. All models. Cause let's be honest, in terms of proportions accuracy, Brooklin ones are horrible and Conquest's versions + Western Models Eldorados need nowadays refresh.
-1961. All models.( Nothing made in our scale, except the concept "Jacqueline", from EMC and Kess Models is about to make a new version. I am not including the old and smaller Sedan from Dinky-toys.)
-1963. All models...the one and only Franklin Eldorado's needs a refresh !
-1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969. all models.

That's a lot of Cadillac models to propose.

Some already made are:

-The freshly released Eldorado Brougham 1960 by GLM.
-The year 1962, apart of Conquest Models, sees 2 new ones, the GLM's limousine and NEO's hearse.
-SAKURA did a 1965 fleetwood 60 S but clearly, it needs a refresh too.
-For 1966, NEO has made hearses and ambulances + the limousine.
-Motor City USA has also made some 1966 commercial chassis included a flower-car.
-Ixo-Altaya has offered the 66 coupe deVille too.
-PremiumX a 1966 fleetwood "banana".
-For 1967 and only that year, NEO did the Eldorado. The gold version NEO's named "1968" is completely wrong.
-1967 Again. Sabra Gamba Koor did the Eldorado.
-AMR have made the 1967 Convertible.
-For 1968, WhiteBox did the hearse but wrongly named it 66. And IXO-Universal hobbies made the same car in a black version.
-1968 again, Sabra Gamba Koor did the convertible series 62.
-CCC did the 1969 Eldorado. Scarce, would love a new version.

I probably forgot a few of them but it's about it. So except the year 66 already represented, any "regular" Coupe or Sedan from this decade will be a good start anyway.

So hope to see "never made" Cadillac models from this secret manufacturer soon ! 😉
