But only the tiny Facellia, which isn't at all the same thing. We want V8 powered luxury cruisers, not the Pont-á-Mousson/Volvo engined little Facellia. Although that, too, was a lovely vehicle.

Jerry was never really happy with the transition Kaiser so he has redone the #10 Kaiser and we will remold it this week. I should be casting the new model by next weekend. All of you who order one will get one of the new ones. ;D

I love looking at these pictures, seeing what has been done when compared to the originals. The attention to awkward detail modifications is staggering - I love Jerry's refusal to accept anything less than perfection.

Lee: These models look great, I really like the Revell revisions. Question on the Dart four door. Is it a Hardtop or a Sedan? I thought the sedans have a straight body line that runs down the length of the roof and squares off at the rear window. note the top edge in the picture. Are these available yet? If so, I'd like to buy a couple. Again Lee, Jerry does great work!

The one detail that bothered me a bit is the vent window frame on the Dodge. Revell got it wrong. Both legs tilt back.

Joe, I could not find a photo of the Dodge 4dr Phoenix hardtop, so I modeled the window after the Polare 4dr hardtop. Depending on the model, it could be a stright or slanted "B" post, but I think on the hardtop it was slanted. I am always open to suggestions and corrections. Thanks again for keeping me on my toes.

Jerry:
The model is great, I really like the extension of length, it looks proportionally correct.
You guys do a great job. I am always jealous of your various projects.

Jerry has a copy of the dealer sales handout for the Dodges of that year. Some of the four doors, I think the lower priced ones, had a vertical B post. Others, here I think the higher priced ones, had a slant to the B post. When I get a chance, I will scan and post it so everyone can see the various differences. Jerry could spend the next year making all the various types of Dodge just for the one year. ;D
You have no reason to be jealous Joe. Your work is excellent. No one or two people will be able to reproduce all the American vehicles ever made. There just isn't enough time in one lifetime.
Anything that you see the master and mold of is for sale. We, meaning me, are just a little slow at getting things done sometimes. Jerry has doubled the line of models that we have so I am running behind trying to keep up with it all.

Jerry wasn't happy with the pictures of the Cords so I'll try again.

Back in 1999 I left Stoney Mountain Classic Castings in Las Vegas because I couldn't take the heat. Well the heat has caught up with me again but there is no place to flee. We have been having temps in the triple digits for the last three weeks setting all kinds of records. To make a long story short, neither Jerry nor I have done anything at all other than suffer with the heat. To those whose orders are sitting on my desk. They are still sitting there. I tried to cast today but it is so humid that the resin started kicking before I was finished working with it.

Lee!
I feel sorry for you. Even in Scandianavia it´s warmer than ususal, but I understand that we can´t compete with California. Anyhow, in Sweden we can loook forward to the fall in a month with more pleasant temperatures.
So let my order be sitting on Your desk for a while!
