International Pick-Up – Yellow
One of the first PMC promotional miniatures in production was this beautiful International Pick-Up. It probably represents a 1947 or '48 model. Although ruggedly built, many lost the vertical dividing bar between the windshield halves due to a bit too much pressure applied to the roof. You weren'tsupposed to sit on them. This example is identical to the one I owned and loved as a child.
Nice rounded cab and fenders. Typical IHC style.
Even the bottom looked good!
The Milwaukee Journal Version
Having been born in Milwaukee in 1942, this unique truck has special meaning to me. It is by far the most rare of all the PMC pick-ups. I don’t know a lot about its his tory other than surmising it was probably made as a special run for use by The Milwaukee Journal newspaper. It is not painted, but instead made of forest green plastic. All other basic details are identical to the standard model above.
The box was standard and not specially marked.
