![]() For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Advance_Design ![]() The Muscle Machines' Jesse James series was only a blip on the radar for a lot of collectors, coming at a time when the company was being sold to Action. Consequently, many of the models from this remarkable series are rather hard to find. I knew this model was out there, but I wasn't aware of this color until I found it in Jimi's recent sale. Thank you Jimi!

I had a few of the Jesse James cars - the lower suspension feature was rather unique. I don't recall ever seeing this purple version. |

It is a pretty good looking truck. I think I had the Mustang Lawn Mower and F-150 Nut Shaker from that series, but they all got trashed. Is the horse a Breyer? |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I think I would have bought this one had I seen it available.

The horse is more of a nayer... ![]() I don't know who made the horse, it came in a playset I picked up at the flea market already opened and loose in a ziplock baggie. It came with jockeys and a couple other horses, a trophy, some jumps and bales of hay, that sort of thing. It is the prettiest of the horses from that batch and about the right scale, so I slipped it into the pic. As for the MM Jesse James transformers, I've left those alone...I just don't care for them. If you like them, that's what matters! |

It's a little harder to tell with this one than with some of the other models. That and a couple of the first pics with the suspension lowered didn't turn out as well so I trashed them. Here are two new pics, the first lowered, the second raised ![]()

That is very sharp and amazing the rear-end isn't sagging like some of those other diecast trucks. |
