After seeing @pascal-michels vintage Indy Pace cars and @d-m-holcombe Willys Coupe, I asked our esteemed moderator John K if he had contact info for Jerry Rettig. He did and after many back-and-forth emails, I have tried to document everything Jerry said and all the photos he had of his creations. See my article in MAR Online and all the photos now at hobbyDB!
I will be happy to update or add to, if we missed anything... Thanks to John and especially to Jerry, we collectors now have a better grasp of the full extent of ELC's output.

He didn't only make modelcars 😉

Having met Jerry Rettig a few times on business trips to Tucson and built some of his models, I have many times encouraged him to be part of the forum but he contends that because he is in the "business" he does not feel comfortable being on the forum. Doesn't seem to deter Sergio. Here are a few 1941 Buicks i built from Jerry's kits. The coupe, the woody, and the four door sedan.
And a 1937 Chevrolet sedan that I built converting it from a four door to a two door.
And some 1939-41 Chevrolet coupes
And a 1939 Buick convertible sedan
And a mid 60s Checker Aerobus
And a 1940 Dodge sedan (the convertible is from another resin maker)
