Danbury Mint 1:24 1952 Chevrolet Series 3800 Wrecker- Texaco

Reviewed by:   Tom Struckman
     
  Danbury Mint 1:24 1952 Chevrolet Series 3800 Wrecker- Texaco diecast car
 
 
 

This 1952 Chevy is one of five in Danbury's tow truck series. As we have come to expect from Danbury, this one is packed with features. The truck features twin working booms. Each boom's hooks can be raised and lowered, as can the booms themselves. However, care must be taken as the tread used can easily come off the drum and become hopelessly tangled. Danbury warns the user to keep tension on the line to prevent this, and they aren't kidding. This is also the only truck in this series that doesn't say "Danbury" on the side - a plus in my book. The details, craftsmanship and features of this model actually make me wonder how Danbury can sell it for only $135. If you're looking for a tow truck to add to your collection or for a diorama, you will not be disappointed with this one! Five out of five stars! The issue price is $135 + $8 S&H.
