Give 'em some time. Once they realize the promotional potential, they'll be on board. "Billboard" vehicles seem the rage for the last 20-25 years, starting in earnest with the HW VW Drag Bus. JL had their Boogie Vans and soda pop trucks, so I know Tom Lowe knows. M2 is catching on with their old wreckers, and Greenlight has seen the light with their rollbacks and wreckers. I do want to find a copy of this one though, to go with my other Chester Cheetah livery vehicles: Majorette semi-tractor/trailer, Jeep and '57 Chevy, and JL Viper and Step Van (Puerto Rico only mail-in promo items). I'm always watching for any I've missed, like this one. Some people collect Coca-Cola stuff, I collect Chester Cheetah! It's not easy being Cheesy! I don't expect it to win, but this one likely has my vote for the week...it will be hard to top! |

A great model of an ordinary vehicle. There are some Workhorse step vans used by Aramark around here. |

I love these big Road Champs castings. I have a couple of the rollbacks, a mint Winnebago and a International school bus that I would like to someday restore. |

The Winnie and school bus at least are said to be true 1/64... think this may be too Had one as a kid until my mom took it from me and gave it to a younger cousin, who trashed it and a lot of other cool 80s & 90s castings |

I was always surprised that this one didn't see use as a promo model. The labels were easy to peel off for anyone who wanted to do so. It is a nice model and to bad that Road Champs, like others, is history. |

A very nice model! Someone posted a picture of one in a USPS livery, that one is a model that I want in my collection. No doubt a realistic model! |
