Road Champs #6420 1:43 scale diecast 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck (issued in 1995)
This 1:43 scale diecast vehicle is a neat model that could be used with O scale model railroads. It is a close replica of the classic 1956 Ford pick-up truck. The model has "rubber" tires, opening doors and movable tail gate and a detailed interior. The model as shown has been modified by removing the rear "hitch". The original model has black plastic bumpers front and rear. The photos show the original black bumpers on the model.
Note: This Road Champs model has been issued in various colors and versions.
Prototype photos also attached.
The 1956 F-100 is a one-year only body style. The 1956 F-100 is easily identified as it has vertical windshield pillars and a wrap around windshield as opposed to the sloped pillars and angled windshield of the 1953-55. The 1956 model also offered a larger wrap-around back window as an option.
