1978 Dodge Lil' Red Express Truck by Auto World (Ertl)

The 1978 Dodge Lil" Red Express Truck was the fastest American production vehicle made in 1978, this was due to a loop hole in the emissions requirements, trucks did not have to run all the emissions that cars had to. They went with a 360 cubic inch engine because Chrysler was in the process of phasing out their big block engines.
