But if you like Star Trek & Classic COEs,

 

Not sure if we should feel honored or not?!

 

Honestly, I don't see a connection. Someone in China had a boatload of COE toys that weren't selling and figured if they slapped some Star Trek art on it would sell.

 

how dare they use the venerable ford f series to hype star trek.

 

But it has a picture of Will Scrapner on it.

 

how dare will scrapner use the venerable f1 to hype his image.

 

Actually, mfg in Thailand for distribution in the EU & Canada by a Dutch div of Mattel. Thought it was funny it ended up in a Mississippi Kroger manager's "specials" bin.

I look at it this way, ST has inspired countless numbers of kids. (& adults) So if out there is somebody who decides to take an interest in finding out just what the heck a 49' Ford COE is, maybe one more antique piece of iron may be saved from the smelter.

Short of winning the lottery, I doubt I'll ever have 49 COE, so I snatched this one up.

According to the back of the card, there is a whole series of different vehicles that are emblazoned with the primary characters from the original series. When I get my allowance next week (), I might see if I can grab another. Bones has a custom 38 Airflow tanker.

Oh, quick question. Does the original use a 2 piece drive-shaft with a carrier bearing?

 

Amazon shows them to be from 2013. I'd be interested in the Airflow tanker. Wish I could find the COE and Airflow tanker around here. Don't have any Kroger stores.

 

Look on ebay. They have several of each at $6.95

 

Yep, that's the one. $3.15 I think.
