PICS Another surprise from NEO...
From Jaap Van Dijk at Neo: " After the lincoln MKV the Cadillac Seville MK1 will come and another 6 or 7 cars from the same era. Enclosed some pics of the first hard pattern. It's not on the website yet, we have to make some changes. First cadillac will have item nr NEO43495 Cadillac Seville MK 1 two-tone Black over Silver 1976. After that we will make a Seville Elegante in White and an elegante two-tone Brown over Gold....
The Lincoln MK V will come in Dark Green, White over Black, Dark Blue and White over Blue."

Thanks Dick, it's about time some of the great '70's cars got done correctly.

OH WOW!! I can't wait for these. Especially the Mark V..
Looks like I am going to be pulled into collecting 1:43. I usually only collect 1:24.

Hm... Same car as the Del Prado model...
I wish they made the next Seville. I can't afford the TFC/Illustra 🙁

Nice to see these cars being made Dick.
I hope they are well received and NEO deserves praise for making them. Thanks for posting.

The Neo's I have are handbuilt quality far from Del Prado.

It takes the pressure off of BRK of getting into the 70's.

Welcome to the dark side Doug, beware, it can be habit forming.

True!

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Cars I can readily identify with - count me in for all!

Then we'll have even more stuff to love in common, Doug.

Dick, Any idea what the other cars of this era will be? I think I'll probably end up getting 'em all
How is the quality of these? What is the price of them? I know sometimes the 1:43's can be very expensive. I see that these are not die cast thoug, they are resin. I am not too farmiliar with resin models. Isn't that plastic?
Here's my 1:1 79 Mark V Bill Blass.

Hi John. I didn't know you were a closet 1:43'er. LOL.

Yeah, baby, where's my leisure suit and disco ball?
Ah, sweet memories of opera windows and road-hugging weight!
(sigh) Well, I guess I'll have to get one or two of these icons of the sad post-gas embargo 70's, to support the history side of my collection. But my favorite memories of the '70's lean toward Trans-Ams and '71-'72 Camaros, particularly of the Baldwin Motion variety, and of course turbo-Porsches. Most everything else was junk, and allowed the Japanese to make inroads from their 1960's beachhead landing.
