Question on Conquest Models. I recently acquired a Conquest 1962 Oldsmobile from Route 66. I know that most of the Conquest/Madison releases are repaints of previous issues however, I have never seen a Conquest 1962 Oldsmobile before. Can anyone confirm if this is indeed a new mold and if so is there any knowledge as to whether other new molds are planned? If it is not a new mold, what colors have been previously issued?

I think there have been several new molds, especially when Buz models his own cars!
The 1960 Edsel convertible being one example.

I hope there will be a second batch for the Oldsmobile because it left soon enough although if I had bought it, I would have missed my second chance to get the 1964 Buick Wildcat which appeared just after. Speaking of new molds, does the Buick Wildcat were a new mold also or a mould modified from the CNQ 1963 Buick Electra?

Harv I thought Brooklin did the 60 Edsel convert?

They did (BRK 75) but I doubt it's the same mold.
At least I've not heard of SMTS sharing molds with Brooklin anyway.
