![]() Learn more about the 1955 Chevy Cameo by clicking over to Howstuffworks.com. ![]() The John Deere themed dealer truck was sold under the ERTL name along side the John Deere 80 shown in the last picture. Both were new models for 1955. The ''80'' replaced the "R" model which debuted in 1949 as John Deere's first diesel tractor. Other than a name and different engine, they were identical tractors. It's cool to see the Cameo used with a JD green scheme. ![]()

A girlfriend in high school had a Chevy Cameo, so I've always had a soft spot for these. First I've seen the JD green though. |

Gotta love it...it is John Deere green! Since this was done by ERTL as a two pack - pickup and JD tractor - it did not show up in a lot of retail stores unless you shop places like Tractor Supply, farm dealerships, etc. The local JD dealer let me know when he got them so that I would be sure to get one from him.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

That's sure correct here, we didn't see it in these parts. We don't have any Tractor Supply stores in rural southern Nevada, and I own a horse, so I should know. I never see anything like this at IFA, which only has one location in the Las Vegas area. What a beauty of a set. I wish I had the opp to buy one. Edited by ivantt, Apr 29 2013, 12:18 AM.

These sets were pricey at the local hobby store I go to. Like $14.99. I suppose may be I only think that is pricey. I think he still had some of them. Possibly only the Ford sets now. |
