New stuff coming..
I went to one of my regular sites this morning to see what models were on the horizon for us. Unfortunately I cannot provide photos, as their pics have their name directly on the photos.Here is what I found.
Neo
1971 Diamond Reo Semi Tractor green and white
1976 GMC Motorhome dark gray / white
1937 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe red
1977 White Road Boss Semi Tractor medium blue metallic
White Box
1925 Ford Model T Runabout closed top black / blue
Vitesse
1956 Mercury Montclair 2dr. Hardtop yellow and black
1956 Mercury Montclair 2dr. Hardtop two tone turquoise

And somethong a bit unsettling...
After seeing the Lincoln Zephyr I went to the Neo website, not really expecting to see it there (I was right, it wasn't)I noticed that they have removed numerous models from their future production list. Gone are the following...
Ford Fairlane Hardtop
Mercury Parklane Convertible
Nash Healey Coupe (second color was going to be white)
Packard 110 Wagon dark red
Plymouth Fury Police Car
I'm not sure what this means. If they have dropped them altogether or perhaps will add them back in at a later date and it makes me wonder has the owner stretched themselves a bit thin, taking on too many acquisitions?

Peter Tait Are these all 1:43?
Vitesse 56 Mercurys sound good.

Those Ford Fairlane 500's have been on the site for over a year now,
I am wondering if they will ever make it to market.
Neo has not had much new on the American offerings the past year. Well at least not like in previous years when something new was coming almost every month.

Wonder where the 57 Hudsons are? That one is a sure buy for me if they come out.

Fury
The Plymouth Fury police car deco sample was on display at our annual Emergency Modeler meet in Columbus Ohio last weekend. There are quite a few great American vehicles scheduled for the future. I have just compiled a list of items mostly ignored in American EMS history and forwarded it on for consideration. I am hoping a few of these pieces make it to production. The Fury is just beautiful. The first deco sample was Michigan State Police.

Yes Shel, this is the only scale that I collect.
Therefore the only ones that I am interested in and I know the rest of you might be as well.

The Hudson is still listed, though no date of release given.

Great news for me.
I wrote to Sunstar years back when the 56 Merc was made in a larger scale asking them to consider the model to be made in 1:43 they said it may become reality in the Vitesse line up.

Thanks, Peter. Seems like they've had good finished examples ready for quite some time. All in good time, I guess.

Where'd you see the Motorhome?
I'm eager to see what it looks like.

Randy, in light of the current situations...
here, I dare not say. Send me an email and I'll let you know.
