In a previous post, I posted a picture of the above prototype and sent an email to Esval to clarify its release. Here is their reply"Thank you for your inquiry with Esval Models. The picture of the 1911 Mercer shown on our website is of a preliminary design prototype. Unfortunately, this model is not yet available. It is very complex to manufacture, so we had to delay this project for release.
I do not expect that this model will be released sooner than 2026. There are many other models in the queue that are ahead of this project, so this model will not be coming any time soon.
Sorry about the disappointing news. We are doing our best to find an economical solution to manufacture this particular model. It is highly intricate and has many small parts that are difficult to produce. The model is also difficult to assemble due to the multitude of small intricate details."

Thanks for the update. If done, this will be a wonderful miniature car.

I guess that makes the two 1957 Studebaker wagons and the 1961 Buicks available sooner if they are in the queue.
