This is the 1976 Ford CL 9000 Red in 1:43 scale by IXO.
The 1976 Ford CL 9000 was a revolutionary cab-over-engine (COE) truck that set new standards for driver comfort and fuel efficiency in long-haul trucking. What set it apart was its innovative aluminum cab construction, which reduced weight and improved fuel economy compared to traditional steel cabs. The CL 9000 also featured an advanced air-ride suspension system, providing a smoother ride than many of its competitors, making long-distance hauling more comfortable for drivers. Its aerodynamic design, combined with powerful diesel engine options from Cummins and Detroit Diesel, gave it strong performance while maintaining efficiency. As one of Ford’s most advanced heavy-duty trucks of its era, the CL 9000 remains a standout in trucking history for its blend of innovation, comfort, and capability.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
