Int'l Harvester Metro Van Pre 1957 US Mail

I have a late 40's early 50's urban city layout. While it's relatively easy to find regular cars from around this time, I longed to find a few vehicles with a little more personality. I've seen these metro vans in a few different styles but once I saw the US mail version, I knew I had to have it. The model is very detailed and well put together. I wasn't sure by the illustrated picture if it would be a little small, luckily it fits in perfect with all of my other HO models. The only thing I don't care much for is that the entire model is made of plastic instead of die cast metal like all the rest of my CMW items. The plastic makes the item feel a little cheap but definitely doesn't take away from the detail at all. All in all, It's a perfect item to add that unique scene to your layout as long as you don't mid it being a little lightweight!
