Polizei VW Transporter

Check out this Polizei VW Transporter from Forever 64 release 16. I really get excited anytime I can squeeze in some police cars but this Transporter may be one of my favorite Forever 64 releases I have done to date. This assortment also includes another VW Transporter that is red with a white side and some could say is movie inspired.
I may have an opportunity to put Tomica castings in the JL line. Let me know your thoughts and what cars you want to see. I appreciate the feedback.

Ford Lightning Pickup

Just got in the first decorated samples of the new Ford Lightning pickup. Overall, I am pretty happy with it. The fit of of the body is the best I have seen on a JL casting. This black Lightning will debut in Forever 64 release 15. Look for white lightnings that have white tires and rims. Good luck on the hunt!

Forever 64 R15

Forever 64 release 15 has a little something for everyone, including these two police cars, a Demo Derby Caprice, Scout convertible and the long awaited Ford Lightning pickup, in black. I am also excited about the metallic orange '65 Mustang in this assortment that matches the metallic green '65 Mustang from R9. Check out my latest tweet for a pic.
