I was wondering, with the wicked wagons being pretty popular, in fact, wagons in any series seem to be popular, and the more "common" cars like gremlins, pacers, vegas, and mavericks being put out by both JL and motormax recently; How many people here would by 4 door cars? whether in thier own series, like maybe "Super Sedans", or in other series like Classic Gold or Those 70s Cars, who would be interested? I'm talking about cars like these Novas:




or this 1950 Ford:



or how about this Dodge Coronet:




or, maybe an AMC hornet? :




Even some newer ones for Modern Muscle like the dodge Charger SRT-8, Chrysler 300C, new Chevy Impala SS, a Dodge Magnum wagon or maybe even a Subaru WRX? I know a few of those have been done by other diecast companies, but they're not Johnny Lightnings!

My first car was a 59 Galaxy 4dr, 2nd was a 65 Fairlane 4dr

[Wyatt]

I have been begging for a '71 Ford Galaxie 4 door sedan police cruiser. I think a '71 I Fury 4 door sedan would also fit into my collection quite nicely.

[martijn'75]

Suicide doors!! Yes please....

[Jeff Koch]

I think, compared to a lot of other diecast companies out there, JL's ratio of four-doors is a lot higher than we might think:

59 DeSoto ("by Chrysler"!)
67 Fairlane
61 Galaxie
92 Crown Vic
94-6 Caprice/Impala

If we throw wagons in there we can add the 60 Ford and a whole slew of others. Absolutely none of which come to mind at this moment.

Yes, it did Mustang_Dude.
I was actually looking at some pictures of the real car on some site this past week.

Cheers. Cobra

[Wyatt]

This is probably my favorite 4 door casting so far.

[darkwiz]

This is probably my favorite 4 door casting so far.

I agree 100% Wyatt, that Lincoln is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!! A close second for me is the 1960 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon. The version pictured below(see JLCollector.com for all your JL needs) is my favorite by far.

I'd buy a few, but I wouldn't be disappointed if I couldn't find them.

I'd buy them if they were something that might have a personal attachment,such as something I owned at one time or if they were unique in some way (BWF,PiP)

There you go Brad. Great idea on the BWF and PIP!

If there were JL PIP 4 door and BWF (now that would be different!) cars made....I'd buy them!

[James]

You can never have too many station wagons, so bring them on, If you issue them they will sell.

[hearse]

It's true - most people didn't have a chance to buy coupes. Not everyone drove a sports car.

I'd like to see a 1968 dodge coronet or plymouth satellite four door.

We had a 72 Satellite four door a 72 Satellite Wagon, 79 Pontiac Catalina Wagon, 82 Crown Vic 4 door. 88 Plymouth Grand Fury need I say more

I had a 68 Satellite 4 door, green with a 318, maybe it was a 67, can't remember, any way after it wouldn't pass inspection anymore I sold it to a farm kid who chopped off the roof and trunk and used it for herding cattle. You couldn't kill that thing. I lived at the end of a dead end street, and it tapered into a muddy lane, there were several large rocks up the lane that my wife always said that they would look nice in our front yard, so I towed them home behind the satellite, right up into place, Thank goodness she wasn't fussy where they ended up in the yard, It was bad enough towing them across some of it.

[roadwarrior]

It's true - most people didn't have a chance to buy coupes. Not everyone drove a sports car.

Most people only needed one car,mom stayed home with the kids,so they bought what was practical.When my
parents got married dad had a 55 ford conv. and sold it in 62 when mom was expecting #5,and they bought a 63 Ford wagon.Dad got second veh in 66 a 52 chevy pu for $75.00.Not like today when you 3 or more veh per family, not counting the kids.Different times,the baby boomers changed everything.

[STUTZ]

Different times,the baby boomers changed everything.

Was that a good change......or a bad change?

[roadwarrior]

Some good some bad I would think

[LIGHTNING44]

I want to see new vehicles, not the same old look alikes. I want Lexus!!!

I totally agree on that one. Thanks for the pic Wyatt.

[James]

Another soul has returned to the house, welcome back HMMWV, nice to hear from you again. Caught any new Hummers lately. I Picked up a couple of the Col. Mustard Clue Hummers and are thinking how will I get the tampo off the roof. It looks plastic to me. Maybe should just paint over it!

Wait until the mustang dude sees this.

Giving up on Bowties James?

[James]

Bowties, bowties, occasionally when I wear ties I wear the long narrow ones, or maybe a cool string tie.

[seveland]

how about this chevelle malibu:





'71 Buick Skylark:



64 impala:



67 ford fairlane:



66 Coronet 4 door Hemi (rarest hemi car, only 5 made, ordered by consumers):



68 pontiac Le Mans:



73 plymouth satellite:



or 67 Olds Cutlass:





These would be especially nice for the guys who like doing dioramas. You can't have every car in the gas station a 2 door muscle car!

[STUTZ]

67 ford fairlane:




These would be especially nice for the guys who like doing dioramas. You can't have every car in the gas station a 2 door muscle car!

Didn't JL use the '67 Ford Fairlane as the Dragnet car?

I agree with 4 door cars being used in dioramas. Everyone didn't have a Muscle Car.

[James]

Excellent Seveland, nice choices, diorama's need variations and realism, so we do need to mix them up. However That 66 Coronet is really a wolf in sheeps clothing. Not many muscle cars would be able to touch that. And get a load of that Lemans. I remember them, Talkl about being careful when you parked behind somebody, the nose of your car arrived 5 seconds ahead of the bumper. Wide track pontiac, I used to love those old Ponchos.

[roadwarrior]

There's a 61 4dr ATF car

[SnowOwl]

And Classic Gold 2 Release 22.





My Grandfather had one of these. It is a 68 Pontiac Catalina not a Le mans. The Le Mans was the same platform as the GTO

68 pontiac Le Mans.


Both of which would be great in a four door diecast.

Would that be black nail polish on the nail on your big toe?
Glow in the darl black nail polish?
James! James! James!

[roachmobkiller]

This is one of my favorites. '69 Electra 225
I would buy this one for sure.

I thought that looked awful big to be a Lemans, I once owned a Tempest which looked like a Lemans with no chrome, it got smashed while I was waiting for a train one night, a DUI rear ended me.

[Swifty]

Absolutely! I can think of a few sedans that would be perfect fits for JL- the one that springs to mind first is the '77-'78 Dodge Monaco. A perfect car for all the "Dukes of Hazzard" releases, not to mention the other shows you can get out of it ("CHiP's", "Hunter", etc.). Some four door versions of popular muscle cars would be a nice twist on the theme- Nova, LeMans, Chevelle- I'd buy 'em all.
