New Spark Olds, Buick & PX Ford

The '66 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe

The '65 Buick Riviera

Premium X '71 Ford Econoline

photo no longer available

Premium X shows several models from the Bond Collection, including the above mentioned Econoline van, which is also available in blue. The Ford Country Squire in white and in pale blue. The Ford Bronco II in 2 tone brown over tan "Eddie Bauer", though the Bronco doesn't look too badly rendered, it does have a problem with the wheels being way to small. And the Econoline has the equivalent of "mudder" tires on it!
Spark has lots of goodies coming. I didn't copy pics because they were photos of the actual cars, rather than the models themselves.
70 1/2 Camaro - Looks good!
'59 Impala Sports Coupe
'59 Impala Station Wagon
'59 Caddilac Sixty Fleetwood - Only because it's the 4 door!
And a few others, Caddy's and Impalas. Camaros and Mustangs and Minichamps has a new color for the Dodge Monaco.

Peter, Spark announced these a long time back.

So far the '59 Chevy convertible is the only American car from this series issued and, has been discussed on this forum, was a great disappointment with wrong tires, color, and interior.

Yes Dick, I knew that but.......

no pics were available of the actual models. I thought some here might appreciate the pics.

And I hadn't heard of the Camaro.....

.....being available, eventually. The 70 1/2 Camaro is a fond memory for me. I was fifteen and my father let me use his for the summer of '72. Boy! Did I beat the ever loving snot out of that poor beast! His thoughts were that he'd rather not see me buy my own car, though I already had. I never said a word about my '68 Galaxie, when he proposed the use of the Camaro Smile
