Hi everyone, hope you're well and staying safe and ready for the return to normality (though I guess some people will be in places where you haven't noticed a difference!)
I was recently polishing up my favourite M2 machines, which are some of my favourite diecast.
I have a mega-romance with jet-era styling and love all my 1950s auto-thentics. They are what attracted me to the brand in the first place - but it seems to me to have been a loooong time since m2 released a new 1/64 casting of a 50s era car.
I get that the brand is like everyone else infatuated with Japanese cars right now and is producing a lot of very cool Japanese trucks, and 70s muscle cars are its bread and butter for much of the shelf space, but I was wondering if anyone knew if Sean or someone at M2 was planning on keeping the 50s era alive with some new vehicles? Recolours are welcome of course as the ones they currently make are wonderful, but these have become less common and there remains a lot of amazing cars of the era that haven't been done in small scale which would be great for the auto-thentics line.
Luckily I've been able to fulfil some 50s dreams with the variety of 1955 Chevrolet wagons released by Greenlight. Can't wait for them to arrive - four door/post cars are critically underrepresented in this size. 🙂

You ask the question that many of us have asked over the years. Many of us got so excited when M2 hit the scene with the '50's era cars. It seems like first they moved on to the muscle cars and then the Japanese machines... and the Auto-Thentics range got left behind. Thankfully GreenLight has offered those nice '55 Chevy wagons to keep us going and ever hopeful for more cars of that era. And as always, Jasmine, your dioramas are so enjoyable to see.
