Like what? Or do you just want to tease everybody?

New Matrix models

Well for two, the Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Coupe 1967 (the one and only year) and the Chrysler Thunderbolt in metallic green.
If I was a betting man I would have said the Mohs coupe would be the last thing we would ever see. So, I am a loser. I will double down and say that we will never see the Mohs Safarikar.

My teasing activities are far more subtle than that Joe..list as follows

Alan has mentioned two already.
'41 Chrysler Newport Le Baron
'41 Chrysler Thunderbolt
'33 Alfa 6C 1750 Figoni
'46 Delahaye 145V12 Franay
'67 Mohs Ostentatienne Opera
'79 Aston Martin Bulldog
Three more, already announced apparently:
Citroen DS Safari BBC Camera car
'34 Mercedes-Benz 500K Mayfair
'67 Maserati Mexico Frua

I'd love the Citroen - that would be it for me.

Nothing there that moves me sadly. Matrix used to make more great mainstream American cars....what happened?

The Mohs? Well, every collection needs a clown car or two. (pic)

photo no longer available

After a moment's reflection, I have decided that I don't need another clown car. I'll pass on the Mohs.

Nothing on the list of interest to me.

Have to concur with my fellow British Columbian. Have some mainstream Matrix but latest releases are not of interest. Love my "Duchess" 41 Cadillac, 49 Chrysler T & C convertible, even the 73 Dodge Coronet sedan and others but dreamcars, service cars, exotics and oddities are not my cup of tea.

That's what happens when a car is designed in a totally dark room.

John, Matrix’s Citroen DS Safari BBC Camera car would be a grand ...

centrepiece supported by the trio of Dinky Supertoys BBC vehicles.

I love a chuckle or two -- but not for a hundred bucks.

I wonder how Matrix beat AutoCult to the punch on this one?
