[Closed] Again, Where are the 60s?? I know that some manufacturers follow this site.

I agree. Maybe I'm just showing my age but I think the 60s represented the peak of American Auto manufacturing and yet it seems the worst represented in diecast. It seems like the manufacturers are missing a prime market while over-saturating it with redos of the same old thing from the 50s and so forth.

Yes, maybe you ARE showing your age. Thing is, though ...

There are a whole lot of out here about the same age bracket (the silver collectors with pocket money to spend) and I think many of us agree the late 50s through the 60s was a unique period for dramatic U.S car styling (even if some of it was a little OTT).

But the late 50s are pretty well represented, to put it mildly, so I would add my vote to the need for more 1960s models. Lots of things still undone. Neo, Matrix and other have in fact modelled some quite interesting and unusual subjects so they obviously have people who know what collectors are looking for, and what subjects have been done to death already, and where the gaps are. We just have to keep hoping they have the nerve to fill those gaps rather than sticking to the most cliched subjects.

I'd be interested in that too but....

just about every muscle car has been done or should I say over done. If they could spread out to do sedans, wagons and light duty trucks. I'd love to see early to mid sixties Suburban and C-10 Panel. Mid-sixties Dodge A-100's, early sixties Corvair's and Nova's (sedan & wagon),late sixties Chevy wagons. Early and mid-sixties F-85's, Skylarks, Valiant's, Lancers and so on.

Hi Mark, I couldn't agree more with you for more Cadillacs in the sixties.

As I recall we have:

Some aging 1960s and 1962s Conquests, 1963 Franklin's Eldorado, 1966 Neo's limos and hearses, 1966 bananas PremiumX's fleetwood, 1967 NEO's Eldorados.... and... that's about it. Ah yeah, NEO's latest 1962 hearse and 1966 D'agostino Altaya's Coupe Deville.

But the ones out there are not really fresh or meeting today's techniques, apart of the Neos quoted above.

What about a Coupe Deville 60, 61, 62...to 69 ? or an Eldorado Convertible from the same period of time. So much models to make!. Just a refresh of that Franklin's '63 Eldorado would be great. At least GLM is about to offer the limousine 1962 soon. It's a start.

I know from a very good source that the sixties aren't good sellers.
Maybe this will change in the future, if more and more collectors are looking and asking for them.
Let's hope !

(Pics) Some early 1960's Buicks would be my picks.

I think it's really too bad that neither the 1962 Buick Electra 225, nor the 1962 Pontiac Bonneville 4 door hardtop were ever made. I'd make the Buick in Willow mist and the Pontiac in Cameo Ivory with green interior.

I agree with most of the comments here. Besides the Brooklin 1961 Ford and Chevrolet & a couple of

Dubious Mopar efforts from Neo, there is an absence of models from this year. Of course I neglected to mention some of the lovely and pricier Mopar offerings from Conquest and Highway Travelers. It's startling really, the absence of a Pontiac Buick or Oldsmobile from this time and especially the 1962 model year.

There are quite a few Cadillac collectors who would seem to be a significant Market. Perhaps they may get some sedans and hard tops rather than all these funeral cars?

I agree, Randy. I was glad to see Brooklin do the '65 Impala, and they did a great job on it. I hope that it met a receptive audience, and I hope to see it soon in convertible form. And I've asked for a '62-'64 Pontiac Grand Prix for years, surely some of the most elegant and stylish cars of the early '60s. Maybe someday!

Kudos to Brooklin also for venturing into the '70s, with the very nice Buick GS455. I hesitated for awhile but finally got it and now I don't know why I waited so long.

Here's hoping for more from the '60s.

Absolutely Randall, I'll still buy hearses and professional Cadillacs but Hard Tops Coupes and Sedans are far more appealing for me.

Let's hope the trend to change a bit a bring the sixties some success.

I second Peter's suggestions of some of the GM compacts such as the Chevy II, Tempest, Olds F-85 and Buick Skylark. Lots of body styles here, sedans coupes, convertibles and wagons. This segment seems to have been overlooked in lieu of the huge cars of the era.
