If it satisfies my buying priorities, I'd consider a 1/32.

I like a high level of detail and fidelity, a nice finish, and a bit of exclusivity. Brooklins new 1/31 "desktop" scale is a nice example of what I'm looking for.

Here's one that also doesn't fit- a 1915 Chevrolet Baby Grand (pic) in 1:32, it seems.

And here it is alongside a favorite, a Minimarque 1932 Packard, 1:43.

I purchased and have kept this strange-sized model only because I can't find it in 1:43. However, I admit to keeping a small display of odd sized models.

Oz Legends, Australian manufacturer originally producing a couple of reasonable quality 1/24s, not mint standard, are now producing a 1/32 range.

Their 1/24s, a Falcon and a Charger had already been produced in 1/24 by Trax, yet when they make desirable cars not made in the more popular 1/24 scale, they switch to 1/32. Diecast manufacturers baffle me sometimes.
