Daily Dose of Diecast... Thursday 9/02/21

John, Another beautiful truck from DM.  This is one that I do not have, but have tried a number of times.  Great photos.

I don't recall seeing this truck before. I like it and the pictures a-lot!

@galen55 

Thank-you.

I have several of the Budweiser trucks, this is my favorite one.

@jcarnutz It's definitely my favorite Ford grill.

When DM was still making these models, what was the price range for a new one?  At that time I was aware of the Franklin Mint models, but knew little about DM.

@ed-davis 

these were an amazing value back then. I don’t access to my database right now but  I’d say $129 to $169. I’ll check this evening.

@jcarnutz 

Thank you.

According to my database, the model was issued November 1999, I acquired it May 2000. I paid $149. Heck of a model for that price, even then.

Great looking truck and I love the pics.

I have several of the DM Budweiser trucks and don't recall ever seeing this one. Looks great.

@jcarnutz  I too have several of the Budweiser trucks, but this one has eluded me.

I am not surprised by that price, considering all the detail you get for that money.  I remember some diecast airplane models at that time in that price range, also with lots of detail.  Like most things one purchases, you get what you paid for.  Again, thanks for sharing photos of these beautiful models.
