Just in Time for Christmas
« on: November 05, 2019, 03:18:57 PM »
You may not be aware, but a number of on-line die cast toy retailers are offering a 1955 Jeep 4-wheel drive Station Wagon in 3 forms.  Barbara and I bought  the one in the display case (above the Cape Verde Green 1951 Henry J).  The other photo shows engine compartment.  Same wagon both pictures but the flash washed out the color a little bit.

Some retailers are calling the engine the 161 cubic inch L-head or F-head motor; it's actually the 226 which is correct for a 1955 4-wheel drive wagon.  There are minor goofs but it's very detailed and I like it.  It's available in the correct 1955 two-tone (blue/white) and a green that looks a lot like the Jeep Station Wagon on the cover of the 1953 showroom brochure.

Those are very nice models.  Both the Jeep wagon and the Henry J's are made with several different major variations.
