Yes, I have a 74 Monaco in the works.  I also have a Royal Monaco, with the hidden headlights, that is almost ready.  I think that is either a 75 or 76 model.

I know you've done the '77 Dodge Monaco. Do you plan to do the '74 as well?

I would need to sell over 60 pieces of a 1952 Willys, just to break even!
Brooklin makes some beautiful models, but I can't justify their cost.  I found a die cast 1965 AMC Ambassador sedan from another manufacturer, but it was in the same price range so I just had to forget about it...

Busch makes/made an HO scale 1945-68 Dodge Power Wagon and Brooklin Models makes/made a diecast 1:43 1952 Willys Overland station wagon.

But your In-N-Out hamburger stand is outstanding! That was my all-time favorite place to have a truly superb burger when I lived in California.

Was that a kit or did you scratchbuild it? Whatever you did, you captured it perfectly. Well done! (No pun intended, of course ;-)

The In-N-Out was done by Dave N.  In case he doesn't see your post, here is a Trainboard thread describing the build.  It is magnificent.

That is good news.  :)  :drool:

A few more vehicles are available.  First, a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am:



Also, a 1970 Ford Galaxie 4 door:



And, by request, a trans kit for a 1968 Ford F850.  This includes only the cab and wheels as shown,
so that you can use an existing truck chassis.  The vehicles above are $4.00 each, the F850 trans kit is $3.00.

Call me when you find a 1967 AMC Rambler American 2-door. I want these more than you could imagine.

Actually, I have a 65 Rambler 2 door that is almost ready.  I believe the 65 and 67 model are very similar.

All vehicles are $4.00 each, except where noted.  Just send me a PM with the quantities of each that you are interested in, and I will let you know when I have them ready.  Postage within the USA is $4.00 per order.

Rasputen,

Will the F-850 cab work on the ATLAS chassis.? If it will,I'm in for two plus a couple street sweepers when you get them back in production. :D

Hi Johnathan, I'm not sure how the F850 cab would fit as I don't model this era.  I made this as a special request for someone but the production and shipping departments tell me it is gaining in popularity.

I have another truck project that I am working on, that I hope to make a kit consisting of a separate frame, separate wheels, cab, bed, etc.  If that turns out okay, I may come back and make a frame, axles, and interior for the F850 some day.
