I recently acquired via eBay a Premiumx Ford F-100 that was marked as a '79 (on the actual base of the model). After comparing to my 1970 F-100 from Greenlight, it appears to be the same model. Yes, there are modest differences (paint/tonneau cover most obvious - but rear lights are an improvement) but the underside/chassis and the body are identical in terms of mold. QUESTION: can anyone shed any light on the linkage between these manufacturers, etc? Just curious - I like the PremiumX model (obviously: I already have the black/white and white/yellow versions from Greenlight!!) albeit surprised that these are all the same basic model. Appreciate any insights.

Ted - Premium X is made by PCT (who also make IXO) and they are contract manufacturers for others as well. So they make some 1/43 for Greenlight! See MAR Online for other examples: https://www.maronline.org.uk/greenlight-gremlins-2/
Harvey pointed out another example right here: https://diecast.org/community/1_43/greenlight/#:~:text=@d%2Dm%2Dholcombe%20Her e's%20an%20example,H%20and%201%20people%20reacted
