America's Most Popular Trucks By Highway 61

Posted by: admin In: General Diecast

1972 chevy cheyenne c10 pickup truck highway 61 diecast model car 1/18Reliable performance and staunch durability made the 1972 Chevy Pickup a favorite at work on the farm or construction site. The first-class Chevrolet pickup trucks from 1967 to 1970 were known as the CST or Custom Sport Truck. This changed in '71 when they used the new term Cheyenne for the nicest vinyl interior and best wood-grain trim package. By 1972, an even more oppulent interior option was offered and named the 'Cheyenne Super' package. It included a nylon seat cover with svelte vinyl edging. A chrome “Super” emblem was attached to the fenders under the Cheyenne nameplate and on the glove box door. The 1972 GMC top of the line counterpart was the Sierra Grande and is identical in most respects to the Chevy 'Cheyenne Super'. During 1972, a special Chevrolet promotional pickup was introduced and designated as the “Highlander”. It did not have side emblems or related nameplates that would cause people to remember this unique model. GM only listed the word Highlander on the inside glove box door ID sheet.

It's no wonder so many consider this era of pickup truck to be the best looking ever. That's why we're especially excited about the forthcoming release of three Chevy pickups from Highway 61 in 1/18 scale. Expected no later than mid-July will be the 1972 Cheyenne C10 in Medium Blue (Highway 61 Diecast Model No. 50560 - pictured above

), 1969 Chevy C10 Pickup in Red with White trim (Highway 61 Diecast Model No. 50559), and 1967 Chevy Pickup in Custom Metallic Red (Highway 61 Diecast Model No. 50561). All previous Cheyenne diecast models from Highway 61 have been hot sellers and this assortment should be even hotter considering the authentic color configurations. As with other current Highway 61 pricing patterns, you can expect the cost to be around $60 at most internet diecast retailers and pre-orders won't be a bad idea.

We've been nuts about diecast cars for years and the only thing better than old models is new models! We're mainly into 1:18 scale but quickly finding interest in large 1:12 and 1:16 scale, as well as superbly detailed 1:43 diecast as well as 1:10 scale motorcycles! We don't have as much time as we'd like to update the blog, but over the years we've accumulated alot of good content here and hope you'll enjoy your stay and learn more about the diecast model car collecting hobby!
