I've got to believe the archives helps them out a good bit...build sheets, and blueprints also, even for many Packards pre-merger.
I like this model, as it is a good match for my car:
I've never seen a toy of a later Lark/Daytona, but I once had one of these HO scale Larks - this company also made Hawks and Avantis, IIRC:
The British had a fascination with the Wagonaire, here's a Corgi/Husky variant - this one was made in a few different paint schemes, this one as a TV camera car:
Dinky made several Studebaker models, and both firms had Hawks. It might make sense as some the Stude lineup had what one can argue kind of a European feel to it.
I have an "Eko" HO-scale Gran Turismo Hawk, made in Spain. It looks like this one but is red (although it does have the silver decklid overlay so must be a '62 or '63):

I so wish that Fairfield or Danbury Mint would do a GT Hawk. They've done just wonderful Golden Hawks and Packard Hawks--they'd be halfways there.
I am surprised Brooklin Models hasn't made a GT Hawk either. They've made a few Studes, including an early Lark. They aren't as precise as some models, but they have their charm, and are well made.
I'd say you're right. In this link, page down just a little bit, and there's a photo of a lineup of press Wagonaires with guys and cameras in the back, and they don't look like they're sagging too much to me, but I'd say most likely "heavy duty suspension" option:

BTW, just stumbled on this old color '63 Wagonaire ad I'd never seen before (page down; red car). The ad is humorous and exaggerates the car's benefits, but I like it:

Make mine an R2 4-speed!
Speaking of that, on our club forum, before we had to post our real names, one guy used to post under the name "Am Not, R2" which I think is pretty funny.

:shades:
A 58 Caddy with air suspension would be pretty cool. The 58 Caddys wear the gingerbread better than other 58 GM cars.
Ah, that was a much simpler world back in the 1980s.
But what I'm posting about is--there was a '57 or '58 Cadillac Sixty Special where from about halfways down on the rear door, down and back, the car was entirely chrome! Even my friend with the '62 Coupe deVille said, 'too much chrome'. I'll have to look online for a pic to see if it was a '57 or '58. I'm thinking it had four headlights.
First, this Jag 3.8 - with these wheels and box, probably made in 1964. I already have one, but I got it for a decent price on a lucky bid, couldn't pass it up:
And a rarity I have wanted for some time. I spent a bit on it, but they only come around so often. A Ford Zodiac convertible, this model was introduced in 1957. But this variant is from the final production run, with this style box and silver wheels, probably in the second half of 1961. Not a lot of these out there:
These might be it for my toy cars of 2013.
While looking at junk online, I came acrossed this oddity - now I need to find one.
1961 marked the 75th anniversary of the Daimler and Benz cars, and Germany issued stamps for the occasion. This first day cover shows a fintail (with somewhat exaggerated fins) to show what was new and modern.
Shouldn't be expensive, most first day covers are worth no more than a few dollars.
I recently bought a pile of models, and in the lot was this oddity:
Hey boomchek, are you still collecting diecast with your son? There's a ton of 80s era material in the collection I recently bought, and I'll be selling it at very good prices. Here's some of the mostly 80s Matchbox out of the lot - you probably had some of these in your own childhood fleet, as did I:
Let me know if you're still in the market, I have a lot of other stuff too, and virtually all of it is mint - would like to see it go to a good home.
Is that a 1963 Imperial?
Yep, from the relatively short lived Lone Star-Impy line.
They also made a fintail:
I recently bought a bunch of 70s-80s diecast, with some more unusual brands. In the lot is this Majorette 733i.
I knew I had seen the car before, then I remembered where:
Biff's using Turtle Wax liquid on that man's ride? I stopped using that stuff when I was a senior in high school. I've been using Mother's California Gold or Meguire's since.
Product placement.
Did Meguiars have a presence then? I don't remember them until the late 90s. I've used Meguiars pretty exclusively since.
Good Pathe of Matchbox making - I wish I still has several they show!

Yep, I need it.
They also had a good selection of "Neo" models, who make a lot of 70s-80s American cars. Some from other makers too, some cool castings. Lemko needs one of these:
I want this model!
Some are better than others. This caught my eye:
This caught my eye:
Interesting that this relatively weird stuff is coming into production.
When I think "1991 Corsica", for some reason I picture a white one with big pieces of paint falling off, primer exposed underneath.
I liked the later ones too.. At least until the Colonnade gen. Never did like that body style. By the time I was in my senior year, the brother of the girl across the street also drove a Chevelle. But it was a '74 model I think and painted a chalky green.

I'll probably go to the Van auto show this year, too. Should be less painful than shopping in Bellingham with the current state of the Loonie
