In 1953, Ford celebrated its 50th anniversary by introducing the F-100 pickup truck. Available with either a 6-cylinder or a powerful V-8 engine, it was one of the most popular pickup trucks of all time. It served many useful functions - from business to farming, hauling to ranching, snow ploughing to just plain transportation. But the versatile '53 Ford F-100 Pickup never served a more important need than when it was easily and economically converted to a fire fighting vehicle. Recognised as the perfect performer for getting to a blaze quickly, its roomy, sturdy payload was ideal for loading yards of pipe and spool after spool of hose lengths. Particularly favoured by small rural fire companies, its dependability and durability made the Ford F-100 so universally popular, it was a common sight among fire fighting fleets everywhere. Your 1953 Ford F-100 Pick-up truck is crafted in authentic detail, from the payload of pipe and hose to the fire fighting tools latched to the side. And it is available exclusively from Matchbox - the greatest name in die-cast.
