In 1918, Ford introduced its legendary line of F-series pickup trucks. Five years later, in 1953, Ford redesigned its truck line and began using model numbers in the hundreds. Hence, the original F-1 series became known as the F-100 series. But this classic pickup truck had more than a new name; it was also given a different look. The new grille, curved windshield, wider hood and windows gave the F-100 the handsome styling that is still sought after by antique collectors to this day. And the F-100 body featured bolted construction and a more rigid tailgate for sturdy and dependable performance.

For the past 50 years, the Ford pickup truck - especially the F-100 - has been the classic American truck. Whether on the farm, the construction site or in town, the F-100 has provided that balance between rugged performance and stylish looks that Americans have come to expect in a truck. And now, to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Ford F-series pickup, Matchbox Collectibles has crafted a beautifully detailed die-cast replica of the F-100. Crafted in the 1:43 scale and decorated with anniversary graphics, your model is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
