HO model cars, and street scenes

[torikoos]

-Atlas has/had a few '78 cars.

-"Trident" had made some 80's Pickups and Vans. Trident is now Roco as far as I know.

-Since you model West coast /SF area you might consider using a few Volvo's or VW Rabbit (Golf in Europe)

-Herpa had an early Jeep Cheerokee.

Yeah I intend to mix a few European and japanese cars in the mix, but to get a US feel , the overwhelming majority still has to be US brand cars. I guess apart from the few leads I've got here so far (thanks guys!), I'll have to keep browsing the net and auction sites to see if perhaps a few cars show up that are worth using. An old type chevy caprice, a Volvo 240 DL, a Saturn, perhaps an Oldsmobile or Pontiac would be great to add to get that 'average street' impression.
