The Buick wagon will be a must have,  but are we sure the angle of the tailgate is correct?

I agree the Buick is a must. I have the DM 1/24 scale and would definitely add these 1/43s.

I love the bus image. What an interesting choice.

Not an expert, but the actual slope of the tailgate looks OK to me, but it seems to "bulge" a little too much and needs flattening just a little, but that could just be the paint colour on the prototype. Hope the light wood effect will be captured better on the final version.

This is a prototype of course and changes/tweaks will be made.  I think it will be a beauty when finally finished but to my eye the windows are not quite tall enough compared to the black example supplied by Graeme.  I would love to see a black color offered as well.

The Fitzjohn bus, this one built on a basic Chevrolet sedan, is interesting.  Here's a brief history:  FitzJohn was a bus manufacturer in Muskegon, Michigan. The company was founded October 8, 1919, by Harry Alphonse FitzJohn, and built over 5,000 bus bodies, complete buses, stretchout sedans and passenger-carrying trailers before closing down in May 1958. There was also a Canadian counterpart.

The Chevrolet-based Fitzjohn reminds me of this from my shelves:

Here's the Flxible Capitol bus from Randy's post. Made by Corgi in 1:50. I bought mine at the AACA Museum gift shop after seeing the 1:1 there.
