...Christian Braun has convinced me to be a curator for the brand on hobbyDB. I may be asking you all for info, pictures, etc. over the coming months. Also, I have in the attic my old Marque Products newsletters which might be useful in cataloging introduction dates. So I guess after the holidays I will dig them out.

I've added many MOC to hobbyDB, mostly from Forum43 members, so you have a head start!

@ben-lampson Thanks, Ben.  I think I had added all of yours to hobbyDB a while ago!  I'll doublecheck I got them all.

@karl I was touring around the listings today. I think I like how Sunset Coach, MCG, and the Rod series under DS were split out. I see a few of my pics in there. But there is some room for cleanup. The alphabetical listing of models rather than numerical takes some getting used to.

You can change the order in hobbyDB to the reference number if you want:

Thanks for providing this John; I had forgotten, or in some cases never knew, about a number of them.  I have some of them but unfortunately became aware of this brand too late to buy them for a reasonable price.

@jkuvakas 

When I see all these pictures, I regret I did not start buying 1/43 scale models earlier.  I would have bought some of these Motor City models; they would look nice in my collection.
