1980 Peterbilt 359 Blue and White in 1:43 scale
This is the 1980 Peterbilt 359 Blue and White in 1:43 scale by IXO.
The 1980 Peterbilt 359 is a quintessential American long-haul truck, known for its unmistakable long-nose styling and rugged durability. What set it apart from its competition was its hand-built quality and extensive customization options, allowing owner-operators to tailor everything from engine choice to sleeper configuration. Its lightweight aluminum cab construction improved efficiency while maintaining strength, and the extended hood provided easy access to powerful diesel engines like the Cummins NTC or Caterpillar 3406. Combined with its classic chrome-heavy appearance and reputation for longevity, the 359 stood out as a driver-focused, highly personalized workhorse that became an enduring icon of the trucking industry.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used.
