I love cars that have simple designs. (One of my favorite supercars is the Lotus Esprit S1.) I don’t like the designs of most modern cars, but I do love the designs of the Tesla Cybertruck and the Bollinger B1 and B2. I had never before heard of the 1956 Powell Sport Pickup, but when I saw its Matchbox model this afternoon, I just had to buy it and blog about it.
More information about it can be found in this link. I love the asymmetric lights at the rear and the storage tubes above them.
One of the things I enjoy about collecting die-cast is learning about vehicles that I’ve never heard of before. I’m like you – this is a new one for me. I enjoyed reading about it in the link you shared. This is a great-looking model. Congrats on the nice find!
Thanks! It really is a beauty.
