![]() Today's Car Of The Day is Racing Champions' 1959 Ford F-250 bucket truck. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_F-series ![]() A very nice casting from Racing Champions, this is a modification of their existing 1959 F-250 tooling (this tooling is now in the Johnny Lightning line, though without the bucket truck rear end). ![]()
![]() I do have to wonder about an electric company founded in 1972 using a truck from 1959. Must have been very low on start up capital. ![]() Opening hood and working cherry picker complete the package. The custom Texas license plate is just the icing on the cake.

The original RC mold didn't have them either. This was a later addition- something Tom Z. could work into the JL line eventually. |

My Aunt runs my grandfather's electric shop in Galax, VA...Fielder Electric. The funny thing is that her married last name is now Johnson! I should find one of these for her as a joke or something

Support your local demo derby.

Was thinking someone mentioned on JLTalk about using the '59 casting in this manner. Regardless, this looks really cool and something you don't see often in this scale. |
