Not to take business away from Mr. Wilson, but if go to above site, click on his blog. Under January 5th he has pictures of the tow truck and a car in that set on my layout with some other pictures. I have added a tow truck driver at the car and the car’s owner behind the car, looking at his watch, figures from Arttista. Set 15 is going fast in pre orders. All 6 cars for 37.95, includes shipping.

Hi all; I received a package today ordered from Jeff Wilson of Hoquat Hobbies. It contained the pair of Studebaker trucks from M2's Autothentics Release 14, a 1949 2R pickup and a 1954 3R Tow Truck. Both are nicely done with excellent paint. Good points on the models include body color on the wheels (instead of all chrome) as well as on the center of the chrome bumper. Clear headlight lenses. The under body appears to be black (unlike some models which have chrome plating there. There is a tow pintal and license plate holder on the back of the pickup, the tow truck has correct dual rear wheels. The tiny printed "Studebaker" is readable on the sides and front of the hood! Minor negatives are the lack of side view mirrors (only the early Racing Champions Mint Editions cars had these), and the floor of the pickup bed is just below the edges of the box! The truck will require a load or tarp to hide the floor. The cable on the tow truck is a bit too stiff and needs to be straightened. For scale, the pickup has a wheelbase of 9 ft 6 in and width over the wheels is 6 ft 6 in. The Tow Truck has the same width and 10 ft 6 in wheelbase. Jeff gave an excellent price and service on these models, and I can recommend him if are looking for these models. Next up is M2 Release 15, which includes a 1950 Studebaker pickup with snow plow (could'a used one today!), a 1956 Ford with a stake bed and two versions of 1958 Chevy tractors to haul your SHS or AHL trailers! None of this is listed on Jeff's web site yet, but email him and I'm sure he will be able to set you up! Pieter E.
