Made in USA Vintage Collectible
You are viewing a vintage Winross Ryder PIE Nationwide 1:64 scale die-cast tractor-trailer truck made in the USA and presented in its original Winross box. This collectible model represents a classic example of American freight transportation during the deregulation era and showcases authentic Ryder PIE Nationwide corporate graphics with period-correct detailing. The truck measures approximately 2.5 inches high by 9.25 inches long and reflects the professional fleet styling used by Ryder PIE Nationwide during its operational peak.
This Winross release preserves the distinctive branding that combined Ryder’s nationwide logistics presence with PIE (Pacific Intermountain Express), one of the most recognized freight carriers of the late 20th century.

About Winross
Founded in 1963 and based in Churchville, New York, Winross pioneered 1:64 scale die-cast promotional trucks. Each model was produced with durable die-cast metal and detailed corporate graphics, making them highly regarded by collectors. Winross trucks were commonly issued by freight companies and corporations as promotional pieces or limited collector models. Today, they remain valued for their American manufacturing quality and their role in documenting the history of the U.S. trucking industry.
About Ryder PIE Nationwide
Ryder PIE Nationwide was formed following Ryder System’s acquisition of Pacific Intermountain Express (PIE), combining Ryder’s expansive logistics infrastructure with PIE’s established less-than-truckload freight network. PIE, founded in 1947, became one of the most prominent U.S. freight carriers, known for its extensive terminal system and reliable coast-to-coast service.
Under Ryder ownership, the PIE Nationwide operation represented a significant chapter in American trucking history, reflecting the consolidation and modernization of freight transportation during the 1980s. This Winross model captures that era, preserving the branding and identity used during Ryder PIE Nationwide’s operation as a major LTL freight carrier.
