Task Force

Chevy had a new idea in 1955: Take the concept of a passenger car, with all of its comfort, and combine it with the ruggedness of an open-back utility vehicle. The result was the Cameo pickup truck. Complete with a new 12-volt electrical system, the Cameo offered full function for family use or farm duty from 1955 until 1959.

Yeah, It’s Got A Hemi

One of Franklin Mint’s older molds gives us this Plymouth ’Cuda Convertible in a limited 5,000 piece run of 1971 Hemi versions. Painted Hemi Orange with a black convertible top (in either top up or the convertible boot), only 11 of these were built in ‘71 (and seven of those were shipped overseas). Franklin’s stateside variant sports white HEMI billboards on its quarters - a snazzy combination.
