Today's car of the day is YatMing's 1938 Ford Pickup.

Ford pickup trucks were fitted with a new cab, front-end sheetmetal, and bed for 1938, while 11/2-ton versions got a new chassis.

A further attraction was the debut of a truck that slotted between the light-duty car-based pickup and the heavy-duty 11/2-ton models. Rated at one ton, the new series was appropriately called the "One-Tonner." It would be followed by a Three-Quarter Tonner the following year. Also introduced by Ford in 1938 were the industry's first Cab-Over-Engine (COE) models.

This is a promo edition, one I had never seen before the Hershey toy show this past weekend. Being a Yat Ming enthusiast, it went home with me, no questions asked. Evidently this one was limited to just 1000.

Bulbous front and rear fenders marked the 1938 Ford pickup trucks.

The 1938 Ford pickup truck also got a new cab and pickup bed.

An oval grille was the final new touch to the 1938 Ford pick truck models.

I picked up a few of these Yatming trucks at an American car show back in May as well as a Chrysler Imperial. I thought they were all very nice although a bit on the small side.

I passed on the Chrysler 300c, Corvette and Mustang - they just looked rubbish.

These are sweet.

I have a couple of the graphics versions, one of the Mack, and one of the Studebaker. I remember hunting through every Walgreen's I knew of, looking for them, and was happy to complete the original set.
