Danger, danger. Matrix new releases.
Looks like an expensive second quarter with some of these goodies from Matrix. What was that company that started off so well with resin but has fizzled away? Uno, Bruno, Harpo, something like that.

Don't I know it - the Cord L-29 and Goering's 540K are high on my list.
M-B 540Ks seem to be hot these days. I just received the blue/cream one by GLM last week, and the Spark streamliner a few months ago. Still a few out there....

That Cord is a dream. Looking forward to it.

Yes, another Pegaso
I already have the Pegaso Cupula made by Daz Hoby, a semi artesanal model not very accurate and in a wrong color, so the Matrix will be a good chance to upgrade it. I also like the Park Ward Hispano Suiza and the Barker RR Phantom I in yellow...

That Pegaso looks like a Hot Wheel! 🙂

Agree, that is one weird looking car. Maybe without the redwall tires.......

The Packard will be on my "get list." The others are nice to look at.

And let's not forget the fabulous Voisin C28 Aerosport, "Hermes"

Yes, a Pegaso with red wall tires! I hope they make it with those wild tires.
I never thought I would own a Pegaso toy, but if Matrix makes it with the wide redwall tires, I will buy it. The tires are the feature that pulls it all together for me.

also another Duesenberg, this time a JN from 1935 with "Rollston" coachwork that was first owned by that great dancer Bill Robinson, perhaps better known as "Bo Jangles"

Concentating on 70s-90s i think has caused
Knee-oh some trouble such as poor selling pieces. Again I say to modelers to look to the 1:1 collectors activities. There is very little interest in AMerican subjects from this era, probably since these were the Detroit's Dark Days of consumer neglect and cost-cutting.
I still think the golden era of American iron is the 60s in terms of a huge range of power options, the beginnings of actual 'handling', diversity of choice such as the distinct compact and midsize segments, and somewhat cleaner simplified styling compared with the overwrought 50s. Styling bloated back up in the 70s while performance tanked.
