I didn't find a forum for this size on TDZ so when my 1:16 items arrive, in which forum should they be shared?

We always used the 1:18th forum as it is the closest in size.

@perrone1 Thank you Misterr Perrone. I just bought one and only after I paid for it did I realize the '37ca' referred to the length of the model. This will take some rearranging of shelves. Fortunately, I already ordered a couple of 1:16 figures, so the model won't be alone.

Cool; hope we see them. The Franklin Mint made many 1:16th models back in the day and we discussed them on the 1:18th forum as well as other forums and no one complained.
Couple favorite 1:16th FM's:
One from DM:

Those all look great ! I have a Highway 61 1940 Ford stake-bed truck and it is at 1/16 scale and I would display it along my 1/18 replicas. I had understood 1/16 was considered "farm scale" and some replica tractors were in this scale.

@perrone1 Yes, I will post them as soon as they begin arriving, which should be in the next week or so. I'm not sure the 1:16 figures will be here by then, though. I like the blue DHC at the end of your post. Something about it is very familiar, but from a side view I can't make out which make it is.
If you appreciate JD have you tried Heaven's Door Tennessee Whiskey, yet?

I had the Cord back then. It was a nice model.
Also, the DM 1953 Cadillac Eldorado and a few odd scales from FM as the 1/8 1893 Duryea and 1896 Ford quadracycle.
The most impressive was Exoto 1/10 Ford GT 40 also marketed by DM. We all talked of them on the 1/18 Forum at the time ( hard to believe it was about 20 years ago ).

I have not tried Heaven's Door. If a 'true' Tennessee whiskey, it has to be made using the mandatory "Lincoln County Process". While very good, mainly Jack Daniel's, George Dickel and Benjamin Prichard's are the forerunners. And though total Tennessean at this point, I favor a Kentucky Sour Mash Bourbon. If I see Heaven's Door, I will certainly try it!

Good memory Richard. I had the DM'53 Caddy in 1/16th as well as their '55 Chevy. Both real nice. Didn't have the others but sure recall the great talk on Exoto's 1/10th monster.
In 1:8th, I still have FM's First 1886 Motorwagon Mercedes and in 1:16th, the '03 Model A Ford:
