Road Champs 64205 1:43 scale diecast 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck - Green paint version
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 side doors, opening tailgate and a detailed interior. This version of the model does not include a rear tow hitch. The model as shown has black front and rear bumpers like the prototype photo. Other similar Road Champs diecast models have a chrome bumper.
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.
