Yes, I also got the red 442 this week. And today the newest box of MB contained a gold '71 Vista Cruiser in the regular line.

Yeah, when I lost my web hsoting on Yahoo, I kind of dropped off a lot of posting. That said, for 2011 Hot Wheels has 3 GM so far announced... '69 COPO Vette '11 Camaro (racecar) '70 GTO Judge Coupe I think new releases of diecast are slowing down in general too though. With the exception of the HW/MB stuff, not too much new Ive heard about.

Also released in a navy blue recently.

FWIW, there is a repaint on the '57 GMC exclusive to Walmart that has "Sam's Deliveries" in blue on a pearl white truck.

Just make sure you locate the closest Quaker Steak & Lube. Wedsnesday is Wings Day, baby!!

No, the HW MC SS isnt out yet. And, yes I found the '57, and I even picked up a spare for a certain person, but alas, he seems to have already found one. Haven't seen the new Camaro either yet... hmm... But what else have I found since my last post... Greenlight... Musclecar Garage Rel 12 - Dk gray 2010 Camaro SS - Yellow 2009 Corvette GT1 Edition - Orange 1971 GTO Judge Muscle Car Garage Hobby Edition - blue 1967 Impala SS Black Bandits - 1970 Olds 442 Johnny Lightning... Johnny Retro - wine-colored Olds 442 Musclecars - additional white Typhoon - new blisterpack '87 Monte SS Aero (maroon) (may just have a spare of these for somebody...) Hot Wheels Garage - dk green '69 GTO

Well, for Hot Wheels 2010 regular line, youve seen most of them already... '09 Cadillac CTS-V '67 Firebird 400 '09 Corvette Stingray Concept Ghostbusters Ecto-1 '67 Chevelle SS '87 Monte Carlo SS Out of these only the Ecto and Monte are still eluding me. I think the Ecto is out, but the Monte is not yet. As for Matchbox, there is some good stuff coming... 1957 GMC Pickup 2008 Holden VE SSV ute 2010 Cadillac CTS wagon I dont have any info on new castings for M2 or GL, since they dont have typical year runs like MB & HW, but Im sure there will be some. For now everything else is repaints of existing castings that I aware of.

From the Transformers cars. The car is actually way darker blue than the flash on my camera makes it look, and panel on the doors is light blue metallic.

Some newly released cars... in the case of the 442, it was out, but recently released from its packaging!

You can blame that on the closing of Geocities. I used to host my own pics on there and I havent found a new place to host pics since they shut down late last year.

All of my posts now have a pic of me.... you just can't see it....

This is the 4th release and a 5th is coming soon. The first was in Auction Block Series 8, with a gold/white paint job (no cap). Then auction block 9 had a custom version that was aqua/silver (again, no cap). This release in County Road a relase in the Up in Flames line. The upcoming realease will be in a diorama set with a camper top and the truck in a rust brown color. http://store.greenlighttoys.com/home/search/2102.0.1.1?q=c10&x=18&y=13

I ran across the red one today, but didnt pick it up. JL has downgraded their cars to a Hot Wheels like package but still charging over $2 for each. I think I saw a white one somewhere here lately too.

heh, the only three I can think of with the same first name is Henry Ford, Henry Leland and Henry Kaiser. But I cant think how that fits the rest of the question...

I kind of guessed, but since I didnt know their first names I had to look those up and when I did it confirmed the "flyer". Cool question, I learned something.

Another version of the pickup, this time with cap.

The similarity.... is it losing a parent at a young age?

How about Stephen Foster Briggs and Harold M. Stratton?

Here's one that seemed to elude me for a bit....

Very cool! Thanks... I never saw the video.

OK, so I seem to remember a Pontiac ad from magazines or maybe a full line brochure. I would love to have it as my desktop, but I cant find it on the web. Does anyone have it scanned by chance? If noone does I may have to dig out some old brochures to see if I can find it. OK, the ad was (I am pretty sure) a GTO, Bonneville and Grand Prix all in one pic, and I think they were made to look like they were sitting at the end of skid marks that would look like they spun them into place for the picture. It would have to be 2004 or 2005, methinks. Bueller? Bueller?

By the way, the green Vista has been seen with the "spinner" wheels, then 10 spoke wheels and the dish wheels as shown on the Ambulance. The white Vista with just the spinners and 10 spoke. Also, at least 3 shades of green have been found.

And a StingRay Concept...

And a '59 Caddy...
