I thought I'd bend this thread a little bit. After the Fest, I headed out with a friend to Dyersville, Iowa to the Farm Toy Show. The fall show is the York equivalent for farm toy enthusiasts. It covered the auditorium of the Farm Toy Museum, many classrooms, a gymnasium and in the hallways of the high school across the street and in many tents outside.
It's also a cornucopia of 1:64 vehicles, trucks and farm equipment. You can find stuff you don't see in the Die Cast Direct catalogs.
Anyhow, I checked off two items from my "Truck-it List." These models are from 1st Gear.
The Campbell is a refrigerated trailer, so the company added a scarf, earmuffs and booties to their mascot graphic. The 2007 St. Louis Fest also had a regular Campbell's trailer on an MKT flat for a Fest car.
Back in 1962, my uncle took me and my brother to Seattle for the World's Fair. The trip took a couple of weeks as we made other stops and took in the scenic wonders along the way, ending at Riverview Park in Chicago before finally going home. I saw quite a few Navajo trucks (and even the occasional Campbell's) as we traveled the western highways and byways, so this is a nice reminder of that trip.
I have a couple others on my list, but I don't know if some of them have been even made.
