This is a pickup from Studebaker, who always made stylish trucks, and this '54 is no exception. This 1/64 version was done by Castline/M2 Machine in the Auto-thentics series.

Very nice. By co-incidence, I was just looking at a friend's 1/43 version of the same truck. He collects only Studebaker.

I am attaching some photos of another Studebaker truck from the M2/Castline series. It is a utility truck from the 1950's.

Mike, recently I have started seeing you in the 1/64 and smaller scales of this forum. Do you have many 1/64 scale model cars and trucks?

Hi Ed : I do have a small collection of smaller-scale (1/64 or so range) models. I hadn't taken too many images of them and they had been packed away for a move done years ago. I recently was going through them again and decided to image various vehicles.
I own about 50 - 60 or so , a number from many decades ago. (and one's I had as a kid) and some from newer times up to circa 2005 -2010.
I think I have the most cars in 1/18th scale, followed by 1/43, then 1/64, 1/32 and 1/24. I have one model that is about 1/6 -1/8 scale. Financial and space reasons put really severe limits on anything new, but when I win the lottery, this will, of course, improve matters greatly !

I have about 75 vehicles in 1/64 scale, approximately 80% cars and 20% trucks. Next comes my 1/43 scale cars followed by 1/72 and 1/48 scale airplanes. I have a small number of 1/24 and 1/18 scale cars, and a 1/64 scale train layout. I believe you are in the Chicago area. My email is edwardbdavis@sbcglobal.net.

David; Do you recall the brand name of the Studebaker pickup your friend has? I would like to buy one if it's well done.

Hi Jack,
Just checked and it is actually a 1952 by U.S. Model Mint in 1/43. Here is an image of it from the internet.

@david-green Thanks for the update David. I have this one and it is very nice indeed. I would like to see a couple of later 50s Studebaker trucks; the ones done before the very odd looking Champ pickup.

Funny, I happened to have picked up this nicely done and nicely packaged Studebaker pickup today:
