Congrats, Don!
I've always wondered why, at least they never made any '67-'68 Coupes in 1/18th. Look at all the other "obscure" stuff out there at Toys R Us, like '63 Bel Air's, Hurst Olds, and the ton of Nascar cars that seem to change weekly.
Perhaps you could tell the model car company that if they were to do the tooling for the '67-'68 Coupe, it could include the GT/CS, HCS, Little Red and the Green Hornet. By just changing the rear ends, and noses, you could have all of these. They could also make the '68 Cobra Jet 428 coupe with the hood scoop and hood stripe--AND!! the '68 Shelby convertible (as well as the '67-'68 convertible, all with the same basic tooling)
PLEASE tell the designers to be aware of the "compound curves" on the rear spoiler. It is NOT flat at the rear--it curves across the tail. Have them measure it with calipers to get it right. They might go with Lucas or Marchal lights, too. Show them my book?
If you or they need anything from me, just send them my e-mail address (not to steal your thunder).
I had a friend who's DeLorean was copied in scale, and they included the aftermarket radio in his car--replicated in scale!!

p.s. I'm about to pick up three of the '63 Chrysler Turbine Cars in 1/18th, just out!...and yes, they are "obscure", too.
