![]() Today's car of the day is Universal's 1979 Chevrolet Scottsdale (C/K series) pickup camper. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_C/K ![]() I'm taking a wild guess on the model in particular- it could truly be any of the models Chevrolet offered in 1979 since it has no interior. I picked Scottsdale as that would likely be one of the more popular variations. I like this one with its camper shell- reminds me of Matchbox's Ford Courier camper. All of that said, I am not 100% sure this is a Universal- I know it was manufactured by them but it is unidentified on the base, meaning it could technically be a Kidco or any one of the other brands Universal sold under or manufactured for at the time. Confused yet? ![]()

Great camper shell! The rest should be crushed. Forthwith. |

I was just thinking that. It could well be a Kidco, although they usually have the name printed on the base, don't they? |

Lets not be too hasty there, You could always send them to me. Chevy pickups are something one can always use, and besides I love it! ranks right up there with that Camaro Station Wagon.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
That camper shell! Maybe the whole vehicle should be named "Fort Scottsdale!" I expect to see arrows stuck in the side of the shell.

Maybe not the best replica, but tons of play value! |

Man, that camper shell would look GREAT on the current Matchbox '75 stepside! If not the Yatming version of same... |

If you gave this casting an interior and better rims (and some details) you'd be surprised at it. This is not crusherbait by any stretch of the imagination- look at the details sculpted into the grill. It was enough for me to pinpoint 1979 as the correct year and Chevrolet as the model in question- which is more than I can say for Hot Wheels' Bywayman casting. |

SAK says this is a crusher. I don't see it from here, but if he says that, I've got his back, as SAK is pretty good at seeing the stuff that makes or breaks a good casting. |

I know you can't see it, but I'm blushing... I'm sorry, but it reminds me of Summer. Enough said. |
