Nice gallery Sylvain, your collection has grown into a very impressive endeavor. I like the Flickr format.

Sylvain, I really like your models, it is hard to get them to look that good at that close distance. I was wondering why you don't have models of cars (and trucks) in the 1920's and early 1930's like the kits offered by Jordan? Jack

Thanks for the kind words, Jack! Well, about the cars of the 20's and 30's, it's quite simple, I don't like them very much. And, if there were not Ricko's beautiful 31' Lincoln and 34' Cadillac, and Jerry's 34' Airflow, I don't think I will have any american cars of that period. As, if there were not Model Power Oldsmobile and Camaro, and Motormax Fresch Cherries, I would not have models of the late 60's and early 70's.
In fact, when I decided to concentrate my collection of 1/87 models on american cars, I've decided to try to get all I could find, but to limit my collection to a certain period, from 1937 to 1967, to be sure that most models will please me. It's mostly a question of design. And, then I did not want to have a too large collection… It could have been different years, but I choose 1937 then because in those years (late 80's), the only model of the late 30's I knew and could find was Metal87 37' Cord, and 1967 because the only model of the late 60's was Praliné's Cadillac Limousine. I know it sounds silly, but it was a sort of rule I needed. Into that period, I'll buy everything I can get, including kits. And for years I did not buy anything else. It's only because of Norev's re-released models that I've started to extend my collection to other kind of models. But I buy only what I really like.

I collect models from about 1923 to 1963 but my favorite period is from the late 1930's to the early 1940's. The mid 1950's is also high on my list. Does anyone have a casting of a 1941-1947 Chevy pickup? Jack

Your collection astounds me. Do you display them in one place or are they kept in storage?
Love the 62 Plymouth, really looks great.
Forward your email of line and I'll send you some of the new stuff I have produced.
Just one correction for you. The Metro van in your photo collection in not a Divco. It's an International van. Those vans were produced in Indiana, from the 1930's to the mid 60's.
Again, absolutely fantastic!

Sylvain, I really like your web page, I go to it often. When I'm thinking about purchasing a new model I look to see if you have it on your site. That way I know what potential the model has. Now, if I could make mine look as good as yours. Jack

I think MFM sells ADP models, so perhaps through their website?

Well, most models are kept in storage after a while, as I've not much room to display them. That's a real problem… But I'll be more than happy to have some of your new models to build, so I'll send you a message about it. Your last models are fabulous, even if I already like the old ones. And even the very old ones, when they were still solid cast. About the 1962 Plymouth, as I've got another one, I'm going to make it as a Belvedere sedan, with more chrome and different wheels. I know I have to add two other rear lights though. Thanks for the information about the Metro van and Divco, I'm always a little lost with this kind of vehicles.
