This will be coming near Mix 3 but we are behind. It should be between March and May

Been wanting to do a '57 in the line and found a spot.  This is just a first shot. The final color will be black with small chrome caps. 

Not sure. I have a sample the final version yet.
Will post it when I do.

These should be at all Walmart's and Targets. 
I'll try to secure a few.  Maybe we can get some to some the guys here.  But I can't promise.

There is a story behind this.......do you work for Mattel? (can't remember if they are the manufacturer, but I know they are in L.A.)
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Put me down for one! LOL!!! We talked about a Saleen Mustang...but hey...this is even better! too bad they aren't gonna do the entire line...then I'd get a Courier too! Heck...I'd get one of each if they did the whole line! Great news buddy!   :blob9:

Yeah I work for Mattel. They just happen to own Matchbox. We manufacture in Thailand.
  I usually get to make versions of cars I have. But since I saw very little in the way for a post sedan for the 57 I decided to make this.  Other companies have made the hardtop and the convertible already.
Note this this is 1/54th scale.
