This is a vintage HO scale Varney 1949 Ford F1 pickup truck that was assembled, painted blue, and customized with ladder rack and toolbox. It was modeled after an actual roofer's truck, with his name R. E. HOWD painted on the doors.
The red styrene mold is embossed Ford-2.
Photos were taken in bright sunlight which magnifies any little flaw, mark, or dust particle. These are NOT noticeable to the naked eye, especially once you have the vehicle inserted into the scenery.
About Varney
Varney Scale Models was
a leader in producing HO scale accessories molded in styrene, the most popular
of which were miniature Ford vehicles. Released
in 1954 were a 1949 Ford F-1 pickup truck, panel truck and stake truck. Originally offered in gray, red and black, in
1956 they offered these same models molded in clear styrene, allowing the
really detail-oriented hobbyist to paint the vehicles and have clear plastic
window glass.
