![]() Today's Car Of The Day is Classic Metal Works' 1953 International Harvester Metro. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car, please visit: International Harvester Metro ![]() This is one I've been eyeing for a while. I see them from time to time at train shows/shops but they always want more money than I'm willing to pay. Today the price was right, and while I'd have preferred a different livery than plain gray, this works. I don't usually do 1/87 as a general rule, but this one is big enough that it's not tiny. What helps is that it's about as wide as a normal 1/64. Considering how many Matchbox, Majorette, etc. trucks are also about 1/87, I don't mind dipping into this scale periodically for commercial vehicles. ![]()

Compact

It's not unlike the Mercedes L319 van or the Commer van made by Matchbox in the Nestles livery. Great model - never seen the model or the original. Thanks for putting this one up. Chris |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
When I travel, I see these in junkyards mixed in with old delivery trucks and buses. If you google the Metro, you can find many pix of restored or custom painted liveries, |

Support your local demo derby.

This is one of many International Harvester models missing in 1/64 scale. I thought maybe Greenlight might offer up a Metro at some point. There would be endless number of stock color and company logos. |
