Great additions to the line up....
I have a great interest in the "oddball" automobiles of the world. I really like the Denzel, which got me to thinking of a car that I saw at the Owls Head Transportation Museum (here in Maine) about ten years ago. And one you might like to consider for future production. The Edward's America Sport Coupes and Roadsters

1955 Edwards America Sport Coupe.
The one that I saw had a silver grey roof over a medium blue body and if I remember right it was said to be the roadster fitted with a hardtop canopy. That particular car has stayed in my memory all these years!
I like those cars, Peter.
The Doodlebug and Glaspar are ones for me to watch. Hmm....got a birthday coming up....
Good to be King
Peter, while not a childhood impression, when I saw this King Midget and matching boat/trailer at the Lane Museum in Nashville, I thought, "What a model that'd make!" Back then, though, I quickly dismissed this foolish notion. Today, however, with the emergence of AutoCult, who knows!

Might I suggest the Lane Motor Museum
Thomas, as I was looking for my photo of the King Midget and boat trailer, I was reminded about just how many cool oddball, one-offs and prototypes are housed at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, TN.
Might I suggest, much like Minichamps did with their Mullin Museum series and Matrix did with their Louwman Museum collection, a Lane series be considered. Just check out their great subject matter:

Absolutely! I've got some pictures from the Lane too that I need to go through.
Including the not so often seen lower level where the unrestored cars are.
Thanks to you...
Harvey, you may not recall, but you were the one who recommended visiting the Lane Motor Museum when I posted that my wife and I were spending a weekend in Nashville. It was a highlight of a very wonderful visit to the city.

Thank you Randy,
but pls send your suggestion to my e-mail address which is: t.roschmann@autocult.de
I want to discuss that suggestion not in public as you can imagine. The idea is great and a lot of that suggested cars are on our schedule.... ๐
Best, Thomas
Fantastic subjects! I have that DeRovin which was a partwork.
