When Californian Alex Xydias was discharged as an Army Air Corps B-17 engineer, he put his mechanical schooling and need for speed to work by opening his own hot rod shop. The SO-CAL Speed Shop helped transform old-fashioned hot rodding from an underground sport into a popular part of postwar American culture. In 1961, pressure from bigger shops and changes in equipment forced SO-CAL to close its doors. And while Alex Xydias continued to make his mark in the racing industry, hot rodding remained his greatest passion. Now you can celebrate hot-rod history with the three-piece SO-CAL Speed Shop Diecast Set, presented by The Hamilton Collection under license with ACME and Ford Motor Company.This 1:18-scale diecast truck, hot rod and trailer set boasts a super-cool 1953 Ford F-100 push truck, a 1932 SO-CAL Ford hot rod and accompanying trailer all precisely engineered with superior heavyweight diecast. You'll receive all three pieces in one convenient shipment. The Ford F-100 push truck has a highly detailed engine compartment and finely articulated interior with dashboard instrumentation. The hood, doors, and trunk compartments on both the truck and hot rod open. The exterior detailing on all three pieces is finished in a bold red and white theme with genuine SO-CAL Speed Shop logos. The stunning interior detail on the hot rod features flocked carpets, a distinctive streamlined radiator shell, a raked front and rolling rubber tires. The trailer boasts a bed with realistic rubber liners, removable ramps that tilt up, a spare tire rack and jack stand - plus, the set includes a removable push block and receiver hitch. Strong demand is expected for this Ford collectible diecast set, and you won't want to miss out, so order now!
