Danbury Mint 1:24 1938 Ford Model 81C-830 Half-Ton Pickup

  Danbury Mint 1:24 1938 Ford Model 81C-830 Half-Ton Pickup diecast car
 
 
 

The '38 Ford PickUp represented a quantum leap in the development of the PickUp at Ford Motor. The alligator-style hood, disc wheels, liberal use of chrome trim, more comfortable seating, snappy pin striping, even amber fog lamps...all of these things made the new '38 Ford a head-turner. And, as usual, DM has captured all the magic...in 1/24 perfection!! While this model is not DM's best effort in their effort to dominate the scale model precision truck market, it is a reflection of all the reasons they're still the Model Pick Up Standard Bearers in diecast! Everything's as it should be; as it's EXPECTED to be by some very demanding collectors. Everything operates smoothly, the paint's beautiful (Washington Blue), everything's up to the usual high standard we expect from DM.

If you like the DM line of beautiful pick ups, then you've simply GOTTA HAVE this one. If you've decided you're never going to get sucked into the Pick Up "thing" then you better rush past this one with your eyes closed tight, your hands in your pocket, and your wallet left in your safety deposit box....o'wise, this one may just follow you home. The issue price is $118 + S&H. (5/13/98)
