How about Minimarque are they still active?

I think so, having recently issued an entirely new model - Nethercutt/Vanderbuilt '33 Cadillac

Buzz Kirkle at Route 66 Models is selling some new Minimarques, link:
Poke around the site a bit and they pop up

PIC - You're right. This Ed McCauley Packard is a recent issue
Minimarques continue to be over $300 but they are pretty special IMHO:

There are two - some castings are continued as GTA Models, then you have Buzz's issues

Yes. Apparently Graeme Price(sp?) Of GTA has Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg and
Illustra/Midlantic/Minimarque has the Hudson, Cadillac, and Packards. I forget who got the Studebaker's.

I'm not sure about the A-C-D's. The Tom Mix Cord was done by Illustra as a MMQ.

True. I forgot that one. Recent GTA's are Auburn and T-bird. Maybe there is no pattern to Illustra and GTA releases. I am just glad to see that they are both active and getting use out of some of those great Mininarque castings.
