A few days ago, I noticed IXO is now offering a 1/18 1974 Ford F-100 pick-up truck.....   but it's the same tooling that Greenlight marketed a few years back.   Does anyone know what's going on?    Is Greenlight "franchising"  their tooling?      🤔 🤨 😐

It is a fine-looking diecast in all cases and utilizing additional ways to gain income from. a diecast mold is a positive effort which I would applaud.

@michaeldetorrice I agree, it's a good-looking truck that if I were to own, I'd have to make the front wheels steerable AND open that sealed hood.  But overall, it presents well as is - despite who owns the tooling now.  😉 😉
