Let’s hope not Mark - a much neglected era regarding US cars.

What's neglected is the quarter-century beginning in 1900.

How many American cars from the teens do any of us have? I got a ton of 1960's cars.

You probably won't find them in White Metal or resin because

They are too delicate.There were a lot of early 19's cars done by matchbox/Lesney,Rio,and others.They would be a hard sell from a styling aspect,Historical is another story.I find most interest worlwide to be WW2 to the 50's.From a manufacturer standpoint.They want to make what will sell out fast.

Oh, I agree with you Greg. Plus anyone with nostalgia for the cars is long gone.

I was just saying it's neglected. Still, I wouldn't mind having a few models from that period.

The London to Brighton Commemoration Run for motor vehicles made before January 1st 1905 is held the first Sunday in November each year and attracts horseless carriages from the four corners of the world in large numbers.....
wouldn't it be nice if a few were made in our favourite scale.....yes I know that manufactures like Rami, Safir, Minialuxe etc have made some models but we now need a few made at today's standards, sadly it probably won't happen but it's a nice thought...but Minichamps made a lovely 1902 Panhard Levassor in their "Mullin Museum" series a while back and Norev are soon to release the first Renault of 1898, so maybe there might be some good news on that front?

Yes, a lovely model which I'd forgotten about and it does prove that they do trickle through from time to time so I suppose you have to be optimistic.
