    Johnny Lightning does a 64 Olds Vista Cruiser in 1/64 scale (same size as the Matchbox Vista Cruiser), but I know of no other Vista Cruiser models in any scale (other than the cartoon like Muscle Machines Vista Cruiser).

    Of course, Johnny Lightning does other wagons we've discussed as well.

    I have seen pictures of very old Hot Wheels 1970 Vista Cruisers,,if I knew how to post pictures here like the ones you've posted,,I'd show them to you,,,also I forgot to mention that I also have two of the camping edition orange Matchbox Vista. I've seen pictures of the '64 Vista,,and I'd like to have one. I also have one Muscle Machines blue 1970 Vista with the flat hood, and have seen pictures of other variations with the giant engine protruding from the hood in orange. Only thing about those Muscle Machines Vistas is it says it's a 1970, but if you look at the front end, it's a 1971 with round parking lights in the bumper, and the 1971 shaped hood,( up and around the grills), instead of straight across like a real 1970.

    I found that photo of the Hot Wheels Vista Cruisers as well. It was on an Oldsmobile forum. But, the caption said that the owner cut up Hot Wheels 4-4-2 coupes to custom make the Vista Cruisers. You would need to make your own if you wanted one.

    All those wagons in my post are by Johnny Lightning and I believe all are pretty much current releases.
