Not a Lesney Matchbox like my usual Matchbox but a current Mattel Matchbox Model. I don't normally buy these but this was is pretty neat. First it comes with a retro style box very similar to the boxes of the late 60s and early 70s. And second it is a neat looking little model. Actually that should be first. I passed over boxed models similar with boxes but they were current cars. This is a Model of Yesteryear now. In the long ago Matchbox made models of current vehicles and older vehicles were released as Yesteryears. Anyway this is a neat little model and it is little. It apparently is true 1/64 scale and this was a tiny truck. The real thing had a 30 HP engine and topped out at 60 MPH. That is the same speed as the VW van which was much larger.
In the last photo I have it next to a Dodge A100 to show the size. Just stay out of the fast lane with this.
Cool model!
Great info. This pickup would be economical today with the high gas prices!
Thank you very much Lata.
And thank you very much Alfie. And yes it would be.
