This is the 1963 Peterbilt 281 Yellow and Red in 1:64 scale by IXO.
The 1963 Peterbilt 281 is a legendary American cab-over-engine truck that stands apart for its rugged durability, distinctive aluminum cab construction, and unmistakable long-haul presence. What truly set the 281 apart from its competition was Peterbilt’s focus on lightweight yet extremely strong aluminum bodies, which improved payload capacity and corrosion resistance compared to steel-cab rivals. Designed for demanding interstate freight work, the 281 offered excellent visibility, serviceability, and customization options, making it a favorite among owner-operators. Its iconic status was later cemented in popular culture, but at its core the 281 remains celebrated for its combination of engineering integrity, longevity, and timeless American truck design, qualities that defined the benchmark for heavy-duty trucking in its era.
