I'll play along...

I am a firm DISbeliever that unsolicited lists like this have any influence on "marketing" conducted by manufacturers. And in the case of Goldvarg, I think all of the models are chosen by Mr. Goldvarg based solely on his own interests, exactly the same way I would if I ran the company.

So here is my list:

1962 Imperial LeBaron

1964 Cadillac Fleetwood

1957 Chevrolet BelAir Sport Sedan

1956 Chevrolet BelAir Sport Sedan

1961 Impala Sport Sedan

1962 Impala Sport Sedan

1961 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Sedan

1961 Buick Electra four door four window

1961 Olds 98 four door four window

1961 Cadillac Sedan DeVille four window

It took most of the day to narrow the list down to only ten. I would recommend NO "muscle cars" as that terminology is so overused and cars that are generally described that way have been done. And NO race cars.

I agree with Michel on those late Packard Clippers (or sometimes just "Clippers.") (pics)

Few were made, few were sold, and today few would recognize them. And can you imagine trying to paint all those curves in 1:43 scale?

Sergio helps to fill the 60s gaps. I second 3 subjects from Tom C, and David C, and add:

David's 62 Imperial Lebaron and 64 Cadillac Fleetwood
Tom's 72 Buick Electra 2 door

I add:
62, 63,or 65 Cadillac Fleetwood sedan
65 Buick Electra 4 door [prefer the formal sedan]
65 Olds 98 4 door [prefer the formal sedan]
65 Buick Skylark Sport Coupe
72 Buick Wildcat 2 door

10 models I would like to see produced by Sergio are (moving on, more or less, from the requests for the '40's and 50's that have already been made in today's posts): 1957 Chrysler New Yorker, '59 Buick Electra 225,
'61 Plymouth Fury, '63 Buick Riviera, '63 Pontiac Bonneville, '65 Buick Electra 225, '66 Olds Toronado,
'70 Mercury Cougar, '72 Pontiac Grand Ville, '75 Lincoln Continental Mark IV (I am looking for one or two behemoths from the early to mid-70's). I also request the more interior/ dashboard detail the better.

Frank, Pontiac made a LeMans model in both 1962 and 1963....(pic)

In 1962, it was a trim option on a Tempest, and in 1963, it was a separate model. I bought a 1963 new, from Stacy Trent Pontiac, Hanover St., Trenton N.J. Saddle Tan with a Saddle vinyl interior. Four cyl. (1/2 of a V8, leaning to the right, with a big 4 BBL carb. (off of a V8) and 4 speed trans. Lovely car.

Taken in 1963 with my wife's Kodak Brownie, so I can't enlarge. It gets blurry. Glad I saved it.

I'd go with these early 60s Tempests and add in the Old F85

Four doors or wagons would be fine.

Some Plymouths from '49 to '52. Almost completely ignored by model makers except for Sergio's very early Goldvarg '49 Suburban wagon. And four doors would make good taxi's and police cars.

Shel; I listed the 56 because IMO most of the ones out there are of lesser quality.

I actually have the brands you mention and feel they are not of Goldvarg quality. There are some very high priced ones but they are out of reach of most collectors. IMO the NEO 56 Chevy is terrible and I regret buying it. Just one man's opinion, but the reason why I would like to see it done in various body styles at the Goldvarg price/quality level.
