![]() Today's car of the day is Jada's 1939 Dodge Airflow tanker. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://www.farmanddairy.com/news/chrysler-museum-unveils-rare-1938-dodge-airflow-tanker/2335.html and for pictures please visit: http://www.netcarshow.com/dodge/1938-airflow_tanker_truck/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_76 ![]() As you can see from the news article, details on the real vehicle are hard to come by! With only 12 known survivors odds are pretty good one would never really be customized like this one has been. The casting is typical Jada. High on unique subject matter and customization, and low on realism or scale. Which is a pity as the real truck is such a beautiful design. Tragic to think of how few remain! ![]()

Seen this one in some 5 packs earlier this year for around $15. The looked nice and included a COE and some others had the Dairy Delivery truck. Seems like I saw one of these at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn too. Don't remember if they had it yet at the Walter P Chrysler Museum but this was back in '02 or so. |
