I've seen the commercial a number of times over the years, but never did buy them. I do have an F1 in 1:25 scale in a grey/blue color. The others I have are all 1:24 scale. Can anyone confirm the ones in the commercial are 1:24?

That '56 and '48 would look nice next to my '40, but I'm all about proportions so...

I have the same one, same color. I also have an identical model, but it's a strange copper/red color with black fenders, a tonneau cover on the bed & gold brightwork a la Superfly, with 50th Anniversary decals on the doors. It's kinda silly looking, really. Both were gifts from crews who worked for me back in the day.

Both the F1 and F100 are 6" long...

188.78" length overall for a 1:1 scale.

divided by 6 = 1:31 scale

divided by 24 (1:24 scale) = 8" length.

Does my math seem right?

The 1:24 scale truck on my desk is 8" long. So I guess that about sums it up.

Just saw this..Buyer Beware Warning!

National Motor Museum Mint @ Pissed Consumer


Come to think of it..I recieved a double order as well and simply marked the unopened box "return to sender" Of course, my CC was charged twice and it took about a month or longer.. and a phone call to finally get a credit.

Now here's one that I've not noticed before. A 48 F1 with a matching pan head. Does anybody have one of these? I like it!

1948 FORD F-1 HARLEY DAVIDSON W/1948 FL PANHEAD 1/24 OR | eBay+

I've seen it, don't actualy have one but you pretty much outlined my plan, Doc. Panel+Pick up+Bike. Jessie is a '55 so we'll have to put her in disguise

Appears to be a totally different outfit than Motormint. This is an ebay listing with the sellar having 99.8% positive feedback. I just now ordered 4 trucks!

I had a collection of various size 56 F100s that I lost in the fire. I managed to salvage one which I use to put my car keys in the bed. Fortunately they had apprceiated along with my art and other collectibles which by not replacing I was able to afford a lot of parts for the big truck!!

I got the Culligan truck from my sons as a present, and bought the "work truck" myself. Both are from an eBay seller, very detailed. The work truck has brown "dirt" sprayed on it. It would be more believable without WWW's.
