I am not quite sure what a MiJo exclusive is, I have bought a few of them but this is made by auto world which is lower case. They are known for their True 1:64 scale models although I think almost all the manufacturers are doing True 1:64 scale now. The original Matchbox and Hot Wheels are said to be 1:64 scale . That was more of a size than a scale.
Now the exciting feature of this model is that it is rusty aka patina. This one is a bit like a rat rod as the body is rusty with a thick laquer coating and drive train is very clean and fully functional. plus mag wheels. It is a bit different than original condition but it is something unusual in diecast cars.
These cars were the original SUVs although I believe these were built on a truck chassis. SUVs are unibody construction.
Anyway I think this is a striking and unusual diecast model and a Friday night bonus. Fridays tend to be a bit slow.
Very cool. I think they forgot the mirrors though..would've been really cool if they left holes in the door like the big ol mirrors were removed purposely.
fortapache, Cool. :-)
A beater Suburban. };-)
