Where's the Aurora ?
All I see are a Ford Country Squire and what I believe to be a Packard.

@100ford2003, that's a '42 Chrysler T&C. If you enlarge the last two pics of the Ford Wagon, you can see that it's a model of the Ford Aurora II concept car from 1969.

Had those been announced by Matrix? I was surprised to see them. Dean Martin would be so pleased to see the Aurora. 🍸

Thank you JK. I've never heard of that concept wagon before.
And thank you for correcting me on the difference between a Packard and a Chrysler. I'm not that good at recognizing those years cars.

I like all of them. I swear the first pics i saw of the Country Squires they had blackwall tires. I thought they looked awful without whitewalls.

@whodeytink Your memory is correct! Here’s the original post I made with pre-production samples shown with blackwalls.

@randyrusk Ah, so I'm not crazy. Yeah, much better with whitewalls. Now I need to pick one out.

I have all of these on their way from Italy as we speak. Should arrive in about 1-2 weeks, if anyone wants one!

I see these wagons for sale on ebay already; mostly silly prices and high shipping rates.
