Dick Harrell ZL1 Camaro

Spoke with the Harrell family earlier this week and plans are under way for a '69 Camaro ZL1 to be released in the JL2.0 line. Art has been completed on the car and the plan is to design a full custom packaging with photos of Dick and a history on the car. Looking forward to this one!

Tim Flock Hudson Hornet

Just got in some samples of JL2.0 release 4. This Tim Flock Fabulous Hudson Hornet is my favorite along with Billy Hill's '63 Galaxie. Billy was nice enough to bring his car to Lightning Fest this past July to show off his Beat the Heat car. Look for more photos of Billy's replica on JL's Facebook.
Trying to decide on some different wheels for the Hudson. I might use the stock rubber tires and rims I used on this car from the Mint line.

Johnny Lightning Ambulance

This is a future release in the Forever 64 line. Just finished it today after having to pull a car from an assortment. I am sure my new friends and collectors from the NHAA(National Hearse Ambulance Association) will be excited about the release. Look for this one in late 2010. Thinking about doubling up on this one in the cases. What do you think?

Johnny Lightning Forever 64

Check out two of the releases from F64 release 9. The Beat the Heat release is a special tribute to Officer Henry Canales, who was killed in the line of duty, and the Ford Focus Yorkshire police is a standard patrol car. Look for these in stores later this month.

Dukes of Hazzard

Just received my production samples today! The long awaited release of Rosco's Patrol car is almost near. The new Monaco, with diecast body and chassis, will debut in JL2.0 R2. It features an opening hood with detailed 440 V8, new lightbar and new police wheels. Look for White Lightnings that have white rims and white tires.

76 Corvette

By now, most of you have seen our new Rally wheel that was more recently used on the '75 Corvette in the Walmart exclusive set. The old Rally wheel, MC-4, will be retired.
We do have another new rim, a 8-slot mag, that will make it first showing in R11 of F64. This was the original aluminum wheel GM announced as being available in '73 but due to some quality problems GM recalled. The new wheel offered in '76 was the same design but was produced by Kelsey-Hayes.
In addition to the new slotted mags on this Vette is a luggage rack to haul around all those cases of JLs.
