Some other Showcase ideas

[peteski]

Oh yeah one last request how about some 60's VW's 

Both VW beetles and buses of that vintage were already produced in plastic (by Wiking)

[daniel_leavitt2000]

Actually virtually every incarnation of the beetle has been produced in plastic. IMU did the early split window, Wiking did both the single rear and modern versions,

Jimmo,how about a modern day Mack cabover side load rear dump refuse truck.

How about an Autocar?

I must append my earlier request. A Ford GPW or Willys MB, and a Willys M38A1.

I really want a 1971 Ford Torino 4-door sedan (in white).


Hmm... let's not get too
picky...

GHQ still makes a garbage truck http://www.ghqmodels.com/store/53018.html

That one is too new.
Actually the one that Showcase miniatures used to offer was ideal for us transition era modelers.
Why not bring it back?

I have to assume the request for VW models from the 1960s was a joke, but if not, you can find 9 models here including those that Peteski mentioned:  http://nscalevehicles.org/resources/era_1960-1969.php

And if you need a few left from the 1940s and 1950s, here are the ones Daniel was referring to:  http://nscalevehicles.org/resources/era_1940-1949.php and http://nscalevehicles.org/resources/era_1950-1959.php

And if you want to be a bit more modern, here are some from the 1970s:  http://nscalevehicles.org/resources/era_1970-1979.php

Volkswagen models are well represented in N scale, and three more are on the way from Lemke.  http://www.lemkecollection.de/shop/index.php?page=categorie&cat=229

Did you have something like this in mind?

That's the Dmented/MZZ Jeep right?

[sirenwerks]

MarksMetallclassics (sp?) also does numerous incarnations of the VW Transport and Bug, including oval and split window, and cabriolet. 

It would be great if some state-side concern would become a regular importer of that company's line of products.  While its tractors and construction equipment (grader, numerous crane options...) have a Euro feel, they're older designs and would be a good stand-in for those of us who model the 60s. MMC also has a line of circus wagons and components (like a small big top).

BTW, if that Jeep is the Demented product, it looks a hell of a lot better in that photo than the product photo on their website.

All the ones I see around here (in West Michigan) all have a large MACK emblem in the grille which is why I said Mack.

I do like a nice Willys MB.
I'd love to see one made with options for covered, uncovered, windshield up/down, .30cal, .50cal, recoilless rifle, and of course a 1/2ton trailer.
