+1 And I would include 46-48 as well; especially woodies and coupes.

1962 Chrysler 2drht. for me....and yes, even the '62 Dodge & Plymouth!

An emphatic +1 to Harv's comment.

Surprisingly, '61, '63, '64 Cadillacs are almost absent in 1:43. There must be a market for 'em.

+1 I'm sure the Goldvarg '64 will prove to be an indicator of sales potential for those years.

Victory series of 1947 and 1948 Nash's
Anumber of years ago, we decided we needed a 1947 Nash Indy 500 Pace Car. While we were at it, we did a number of other 1947 and the 1948 Nash Convertible. Only about 1000 1948 Nash Convertibles were produced, because Nash had a lot of leftover 1941 Convertible top assemblies. That was the last year Nash made a Convertible. So they took a whole bunch of Coupes and cut off the tops to make 1000 Convertibles. If you ever sit in the back seat of a 1948, you sir very upright, and not too comfortable, because they had to make room for the folding top on a coupe body, which cut into the back seat space. Interesting story.photo no longer available

I'd go for a '52 Plymouth 4 door in black as it was the first car I had in 1966. Dad purchased it. Was never that crazy about it so 6 months later I purchased my '48 Mercury woodie.

++1. And a stately sedan would add variety to the many 2 door subjects in our collections

+1 Thanks!

Absolutely, Mark. I would likely buy all the colours offered, too. There does appear to be a preference amongst the collector community for 2dr hardtops and convertibles which may discourage manufacturers from issuing sedans and 4dr hardtops, but I think that 4dr Cadillacs would sell well because the marque has a special attraction.
