    be cool to see some base line cars from the 60s and 70s. like a sleeper line. base trim 4 door cars like the one in white lighting with Burt. then the 1967-1972 and 1980-1986 crewcabs, supercabs, regular cabs, f series pickups. so excited to get some of these. i remember my dad getting his first and only new truck when i had just turned 6 years old. it let me drive it the next day to feed cows it was awesome. he put it in granny gear and he jumped on the back of the pickup loaded with hay and feed the cows while i stood on the seat and drove around the field. still have the truck and have had alot of memories with my dad this this truck. It was a 1985 ford f 250 4x4 long box regular cab diesel with the explorer package. then the first truck my dad got for me so i would stop taking his truck to school lol was a rare 1967 ford f 250 2x4 crewcab which their was only 8 for that year and i still have it to. THANKS all you guys at round2 for making life just that more fun. sorry that was long just wanted to tell you alittle bit about what memories you guys have brought back to me.

      I think it’s because no brand has done an accurate version of the C7. Hot wheels and mbx are just inconsistent, they’re too big and the tomica ZR1 is a little bit small.

    Great variety of castings. It has been a while since you added to Land Yachts/Luxury Cruisers 1:64 line in Auto World. Hoping for Toronado, Riviera or Chrysler Imperial. I realize almost all muscle cars are done, but always hoped for a 1964 GTO. NOBODY has done it in true 1:64 and it deserves to be out there. Last, a Nash Healey (Superman's car in original TV series), a Rambler American fron 3rd Rock from the Sun or a true 1:64 Nash Metropolitan would be a challenging but rewarding project. Thanks

    Overall pretty good. One idea - for the JL tools (and maybe the AWs) tool separate AW bases so they can be in both lines. The Monte Carlo and Ranger that were done for JL don't look quite right with the wide tires but with a new base you could slot into the AW line.

    @1yris1 Před rokem +2

    I always wondered why you guys never did the 1970 impala front on the 1969 kingswood but you have now. But I also have really really wondered why you haven't used the 1970 impala body and make a 1969 impala coupe and convertible I would think you just need to change the grill and rear bumper. I know you have the Johnny lightning 69 impala but it doesn't seem to be true 1:64 or even detailed as good as the Autoworld stuff which everyone loves.👍👍👍👍👍 Also we need the 1979 -1988 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and the 1993 -96 Cadillac Fleetwood along with all the years of impala and the best one yet the (1976 caprice) not impala. CAPRICE. Thanks for the video update. I can't wait until all this stuff is out.💪😉👍

    The only other changes you may want to do for the 1972 GS is the air cleaner is different than the 1970. The drivers side ram air intake is triangular. Rear bumper is also different with rubber strips around the lenses (which are different than 1970 as well) . Front bumper has rubber bump strips too.

    I love all the stuff. Always excited to see what’s coming out.I would be thrilled to see some molar wagons from the late 50s through the 60s. Convertibles from this same era in the mopars would be fantastic. The dodge truck you have are also great but google a 58 dodge swept line in the 3-tone colors, personally I don’t think they get any sharper. Google a 1960 Polara 500 covertable. I know when I go to the stores or hobby shops or the toy shows the people I’m rubbing shoulders with are normally about my age range and would probably love cars and trucks from the years that I have mentioned. You are all doing a great job just please consider some of these when your trying to decide what will be next in your lineup. Thank you!!

So many options there just like the square body chevys. Also the 1:18 scale dodge truck is awesome as a sweptline and the other mopars that you are tooling also are great. Can't wait.

    @a-a-ron6385 Před rokem

    Very nice updates. I am happy that AM finally addressed the front bumper on the Chevelle. The body was respectably well done for a 1990's cast, and the front bumper was a tripping point for it. The Buick was a bit better later on. Of course, it was well documented that Ertl and others discovered the potential of 1:18 scale, and collectors were able to see outstanding diecasts in the years that followed. AM needs to consider to take a plunge again for an all new 1:18 diecast mold. We are sorely missing an early Buick GS, an early '62-'63 Impala SS, and a few others across the board. I realize that we are not back in the old days when collectors were enjoying new material every year, but something fresh every once in a while would be nice.

    And with trucks, a 70's square body Chevy six pack crew cab, which could become a Suburban later on.
    In 1/18, as an owner of one I would say add the gap between grille base and bumper top on your retooling of 70 Chevelle. There is a setback fillet panel there. Bigger issue is the headlight bezels are not round, they widen at top, and light is set back, with surround of both lights is flat on top. Great attention on the rework!

    Could y'all make a 1:64 scale 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP? The 2004-2008 Grand Prix has never had a 1:64 casting (unless you count some NASCAR stock cars... which I don't count). I'd love to own a 1:64 scale version of my old car in Stealth Gray Metallic. I'd also love to see y'all bring back the '93-'97 Camaro Z28 casting and make one in Bright Purple Metallic.
