SOLD 'AS IS' AS PICTURED WITH MINOR DAMAGE, rear swing out door is broken but included. On May 1, 2008, Freightliner Trucks introduced a new heavy-duty over-the-road truck called the "Cascadia". This Class 8 truck is said to improve fuel efficiency by 3% over previous models and is built around the demands of the 2010 federal emission standards. Using an entirely new platform, the tractor will replace both the Columbia and the Century - along with all their versions.
Freightliner invested over $400 million to design the Cascadia along with 1 million engineering hours and 2,500 wind tunnel testing hours. First to produce the Cascadia for the die-cast collector’s market is Tonkin Replicas who are releasing this truck as a 1:53 scale Precision Series model. The model is filled with tons of detail worthy of a Precision Series release including a removable roof to reveal a detailed sleeper interior, opening hood exposing the highly detailed engine, multi-position front wheels, brake lines and a detailed under-carriage Brand New Tooling, this 1/53 scale Freightliner Cascadia made of full die cast metal tractor trailer has excellent detail to it. Great Dane trailer has Great Dane emblem on the side of the simulated 53' trailer. Opening doors on both units. Adult collectible.
