Oxford Diecast 87CP65001 – Chevrolet Stepside Pick Up 1965 Light Blue/White – HO Scale

If you were going to have a pickup in the 1960s, it had to be a Chevy – the ultimate €˜UT€™ conjuring up a picture of a trailer load of all sorts of stuff driving along unmade roads towards your homestead, leaving a cloud of dust behind you! Our model of the 1965 Chevy Pickup is registered in Arkansas €˜The Land of Opportunity€™ and is based on the 10 (1/2 ton) version. Chevrolet had introduced the fendered Stepside truck in 1960 and it was produced at their Pontiac plant in Michigan until 1966. Special innovative features included a drop-centre ladder frame allowing the cab to sit lower and an independent suspension to give a smoother ride. Modifications in 1965 included air conditioning, a 220 hp engine and a new front grille. Our first release of the Chevy pickup  from 1965 comes in pristine pale blue with white cab and features the €˜10€™ designation in red on the cab sides, with the Chevrolet name printed in white on the drop-down trailer back.  Bumpers, wheels and the front grille are all given a chrome finish.
