Not even Brooklin with their expensive models seems to hit the popular models of

the period I want to model (Fords, yes, from Rextoy, and others) except for one

1937 Chevy coupe, and Buicks.  Chevrolets, Fords (for some years), Plymouths and

Dodges, Pontiacs, Olds, etc., etc. including assorted vanished orphan makes, are

needed for a lot of layouts, with people in On3, On30, two and three rail, for 1940 and prior by me, and later for many more.  It can't be too tiny a market, although not one to bankroll parade balloons. (uh, and it sounds like many want open cars, but I want

cars seen on the street in small town America in that era).  (and believe me, closed cars with heaters were extremely popular) My dad got married and traded his 1936 Olds convertible on a 1938 base model non classic Packard Six 110 two door coach,

a body style once often chosen by young couples before child-proof door locks/child seats.  Unlike the classic upper lines, 180's, Supers, Twelves, etc. this was a lower medium priced car, that helped Packard survive the Depression, barely.  Rextoy made a four door 1940 120, but vanished before all the body styles promised could be offered.  As for my favorite model Chevrolets, there are no models of the 1933-34 Master, 1933-35 Standards, or pickiups for those years in 1/43,/1/48?,nor for 1940,
