I have that White and Blue DeSoto on my desk at work. I didn't know it
was a replication of a fwdlk member's car. It is a very nice car and
has a very nice photo with the car. Now I can't wait to see someone's
57 Belvedere get the Johnny Lightning treatment and show up at my
Walmart so I can put it on my desk, next to John's DeSoto.

This is true
The White and blue 59 Desoto is mine. They did the car and even used one
of the photos I took and sent them It's slow sometimes but worth the
wait The only complaint I had was my name got left off of the card They
apologized but it was too late to do anything.
They recently released a red and white car which is mine altered. They
did offer to put my name on this card but I refused saying it wasn't
really my car.
The ones sold at Wal-Mart are general releases and will have mag wheels
which I disliked. The original collectors run had the proper wheels on
it and look much better For using my car I received 12 packages of each
version All in all looking back at the good and the bad, I would do it
again. It's a special thrill to see your own car in Wal-Mart John

Johnny Lightning makes an excellent product. Their main line is 1/64
diecast cars that sell for $2.99 across the country. HobbyLobby and
ToysRus are the best places to find them, but Target, Walmart, Kmart and
hobby stores sell them also.
They include a photo with every car they make. In order to get more
photos of less common cars they ask you to send them a photo of your car
for them to replicate and sell across the country (and they give you
free cars to enjoy.) Sounds pretty cool to me. These are the cars they
already have made castings for and need your photos (that are related to
this forwardlook list.)
55 Chrysler C300 2dr
59 DeSoto 4 door
62 Savoy/Belvedere/SportFury/Fury 2-door
57-58 Plymouths, any 2-door (just announced and not yet on the web site)
Follow their photo instructions on the link I included to ensure they
will be happy with your photo. It sounds as though they have a real
shortage of photos, so chances are good they will select your photo, if
you send a good one.
You might own another car on their list, so check it to see.
