1955 Chevy pickup trucks coming... BUT!

[C&O 9051]

UPDATE: The first run of '55 pickups will be stepsides...

 

Walthers is showing 4 pickups and 3 box van trucks coming from Classic Metal Works.  1955 Chevys, to be precise. CMW has a Facebook page so I left a message over there. That was six weeks ago and no response yet.  What did I want to know? Simply this. Will their offering be a stepside or the Cameo Carrier. Cameos have been done. What I'm looking forward to is a decent work truck.

Their products are sometimes delayed. I understand why. Global economy, etc. But you think with social media readily available, they would answer a question or two. Anyone have any knowledge of what's coming?  Like I said, keeping fingers crossed for a stepside. What about YOU?

to the forum.

That is good news, my aunt had a 55 Belair. 

CMW has been sold.  The press release on their website is lacking a date, however they are now owned by Round2models.com, a producer of vehicles in all sorts of scales and brands.  No mention of 55 Chevy's there, but they also have a facebook presence.

You could either email Round 2 from their website or facebook and let us know what they have to say.

Maybe they will lower the prices.  There...i said it!  Maybe change the name to Classic Plastic Works.

OMG!  I'm a troll. I've been registered here for YEARS!  And my first post is a whine?  Shame on me. You guys should ban me. I'm better than that!

That said, Henry, Round 2 is maintaining the FB page for CMW. In the end, it's no big deal. They'll be out next year and the stepside/cameo mystery will be solved. I just figured they would take advantage of social media and let folks know about one of their upcoming products. Still, think I'll try a email just to test them to see if they're asleep at the wheel.

Cheers!

Ask and ye shall receive.  Here's a cut and paste from an email from Round2! Thanks for the nudge, Big Daddy...

 

 

Hi Stan,

The first release will be a 1955 stepside.

We will do a Cameo in the future however.

I missed your 2010 start date.
