Bring classic American trucking history to your collection with this Peterbilt 352 COE Sleeper and 53' Wilson Roadbrute Flatbed Trailer 1:64 scale diecast model by First Gear.
Finished in white with blue striping, this detailed tractor-trailer combination pairs the distinctive cab-over-engine Peterbilt 352 with a Wilson Roadbrute flatbed trailer and covered wagon configuration. First Gear's large 1:64 scale truck models are designed with collector-level details throughout the cab, chassis, trailer, and running gear.
Features:
The Peterbilt 352 belongs to the classic era of American cab-over-engine trucks, commonly called COEs, in which the driver's cab sits above the engine rather than behind a conventional hood. This configuration allowed manufacturers to maximize cargo-carrying length while keeping the truck's overall length within regulations of the period.
Peterbilt's 352 became one of the company's recognizable cab-over designs and helped establish the distinctive appearance associated with long-haul American trucking during the 1960s and 1970s. Sleeper-equipped versions provided living accommodations behind the driving compartment for drivers spending extended periods on the road.
The trailer represented by this model comes from Wilson Trailer, a long-established American manufacturer of commercial trailers. Flatbed trailers are among the most versatile equipment in trucking because they can transport cargo that would be difficult to load into an enclosed trailer.
A covered wagon flatbed uses a removable tarp system over a supporting framework. It combines much of the loading flexibility of a flatbed with additional weather protection for cargo, creating the distinctive long covered profile reproduced by this First Gear model.
Together, the Peterbilt COE tractor and Wilson Roadbrute trailer make this model a miniature representation of an important period in American trucking and transportation history.
