I've had this one for a few years, finding it in a sale somewhere.  It's a heavy 1 1/2 pounds and was produced by SpecCast for Pfizer Chemicals as a sales tool.  My question:  Is this the model of a real 1:1 truck?  The thick windshield posts suggest otherwise, but I'm asking those who know trucks better than I.  There is no interior to assist, and I have no other information.  Ideas?

I assume it's just a fantasy truck - or one that was in the Tour de France promotional caravan!! 😆

“Revolution” refers to a dog and cat flea treatment.

Thanks, Frank, you pointed me to the solution.  Yes, REVOLUTION is a treatment for dogs and cats with fleas, made by the firm ZOETIS.  However, my little truck has the name PFIZER on the doors.  A little further checking found that until a few months ago, ZOETIS and PFIZER were part of the same company.  So, since my heavy little truck carries both PFIZER and REVOLUTION and is not new, it was probably the kind of gift given to animal doctors by salespeople.  Now I know!  One mystery solved.  I'm going to type this up and attach it to the truck.
