@ben-lampson. Very complete and awesome collection of '40s models. One of my favourite periods in automotive styling.

The charcoal 1941 Oldsmobile four door fastback is, I believe, a Western Models item and quite rare.  I have been looking for one for a while.   But still would not mind some model maker doing a four door notchback like this.

Or even more unusual, this last year for a four door convertible

I would love to one day see Goldvarg produce some Pontiacs from 1949 to '52 as well; I would buy every one.

I would prefer some 1950-52 Plymouths.  Already have a selection of 1950-52 Pontiacs.

The Plymouth era you mention would be a very welcome addition to my 1/43 collection for sure....especially these ones...

You're right, Jack.   Sergio is having issues trying to get a license from Stellantis.  I did manage to build these in 3D printed form.  

A 1950 Suburban and a lengthened conversion into the last Plymouth woody.

And a 1949 Business coupe.

@jack-dodds. Record models makes 1952 Pontiacs in just about every body style. They are available in kit form or already assembled by the  factory. I believe that they are slightly less than 1/43 scale and also warn that the Pontiacs are hard to find. They also make 1952 Chevrolets in all styles which are readily available on Ebay.

Wouldn't it be better to say Record MADE these Chevrolets and Pontiacs in the past?  They are approaching 40 years old now.

@kenspear Ken;  I do have the Record '52 Pontiac convertible in red; it is the only Record model I have.  It is lovely but noticeably smaller beside the 1/43 models when on display.

@jack-dodds The Safari is a much awaited model to join the 55 from MOC and the 57 from both Western and Brooklin.
