This is the First Gear Diecast 1957 International R-200 Tow Truck in 1:34 scale.
The 1957 International R-200 Tow Truck was a powerhouse of mid-century American utility, built for heavy-duty recovery with a no-nonsense design and industrial-strength engineering. What set it apart from its competition was International Harvester’s use of durable inline-six or V8 engines combined with an extra-robust chassis tailored for demanding commercial work. Known for its reliability in tough conditions, the R-200 featured a distinctive wide front grille and bold, squared-off lines that conveyed strength and stability. Its blend of mechanical toughness and International’s reputation for commercial durability made it a favorite among towing and service operators across North America.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
