8600 Coaches are now on order at Rapido. We had 42 customers (many return) order a total of 281 of the 8600 Coaches, broken down with 120 “as delivered”, 86 “skirted” McGinnis, and 75 in the “unskirted” McGinnis. To tell you the truth, this number surprised me, as I figured most people had gotten their Coaches with the first run. This is a pleasant surprise and I’m sure Rapido is pleased, too, since they took a dive into either the shallow end or deep end by announcing a re-run, almost exactly four years after we finished taking reservations for the first-run. I think they chose the right end! Thanks to all who responded. A special “shout out” to our winner for the most ordered, Tom D.!
Please remember that we are still taking reservations for the next release: THE COUNTY CARS. An exciting “different” type of car, unique to the New Haven. You can find the RESERVATION FORM here: County Car Reservation Form. Please visit the “Forum” to ask questions about these cars—see topic “Some Q&A on the New County Cars—Post other questions here”.
