The CMW Ford Box is the only one I have purchased, so I will have to vote for that. For the kits, it has to be the GMC 9500 just because it is closer to the transition era.

Funny, that is how I am going to vote (in-person at the convention).  It was a tough call between the wrecker and the Kenworth dump truck (a gorgeous and well-detailed model). But it is more like a Lego set where you just assemble the pre-painted pieces, where the Wrecker is a "real" kit.

Is it me, or the number of choices is small this year? Not even a single passenger car?

@cfritschle - I think you'd be wise to create a poll for something like this, IMO.

I noticed that aswell, and two of the RTR candidates are models from the 1990s...

Peter,

Since we changed from the New and Enhanced categories to the Assembled and Kit (or unassembled) categories several years ago, the number of models in each category dropped from 6 to 4.

Bryan,

This way cuts down on voter fraud.

I think that if a poll is created each member can only vote once.  But you don't know who voted.
