'59 Ford Pickup - John Deere - Johnny Lightning

'59 Ford Pickup

Release Date: June 2008

Cast Number: 988

Ford was beginning to build a reputation for dependability with its rugged pickup line by 1959, while John Deere was already recognized as a world leader in the manufacturing of farm equipment. This model shows off the design elements that had come with a 1957 restyle, and features tampo-printed graphics that are authentic to the time period. Trucks like this one enabled John Deere dealers to deliver parts for tractors like the 8010 diesel, which debuted in ’59 and represented the largest tractor the company had ever built.
