Dodge Ut-line Pickup L'il Red Truck 1:18 Scale Diecast

The 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express, the Power Wagon, and the Warlock were three "factory-custom" pickups that Dodge introduced that year to appeal to young buyers seeking both speed and style in their vehicles. The Li'l Red Express, based on the Dodge D150 Utiline pickup, boasted a 360ci V8 engine. This rare and iconic truck was produced in a limited run of only 5,118 units in 1979. Distinctive features included custom wheels, wide tires, a Utiline bed with wood trim, bench seats, and dual silver chrome exhaust stacks. Comfort amenities such as a radio, air conditioning, cruise control, a cargo light, and a clock were also included in the cab.

As the name suggests, the Li'l Red Express was exclusively available in a specific shade of Medium Canyon Red paint, differing slightly from the previous model year's Bright Canyon Red. This 1:18 scale die-cast replica from Auto World faithfully recreates the 1979 Dodge Pickup Li'l Red Express. Boasting a black interior, steerable wheels, and a newly-tooled 1979 front grille and hood, the exterior is meticulously painted in the factory-matched Medium Canyon Red, adorned with gold decals and filigree, just like the original vehicle.

The Power Wagon and the Warlock were the two other "factory-custom" pickups that Dodge launched alongside the Li'l Red Express in 1979, all designed to captivate young buyers seeking a balance of speed and style in their rides. While the Li'l Red Express was based on the Dodge D150 Utiline model, the specific details and specifications of the Power Wagon and the Warlock may have differed.

This 1:18 scale die-cast replica from Auto World is a highly detailed and accurate representation of the 1979 Dodge Pickup Li'l Red Express. With its opening doors, hood, and tailgate, as well as its detailed engine and chassis, this model offers enthusiasts and collectors a chance to own a piece of automotive history. The faithful recreation of the Medium Canyon Red exterior, complete with the iconic gold decals and filigree, ensures that this model captures the essence of the original Li'l Red Express in stunning detail.
