4/25/20 Storm Chasers 5-pack

This was more of a kid-oriented 5-pack of the bunch, but I got it because I felt this 5-pack was valuable for the two Volkswagen’s inside: the 1962 Beetle in orange and the 1967 Transporter in black.  Yes were popular at the time, though this was not one of their best outfits.  Joining them is the Chevy Blazer 4x4 in black complete with whip antenna, the Mercedes TV News Truck in green with detailed control monitors on the sides, and even working TV and antenna stands.  The last one is the 1997 Ford F-150 that debut in 1998 in white as an extended-cab fleetside pickup.  It was a bit late to the new 1997 F-series party in diecast, but it was nicely done with detailed front grille, smooth front and rear bumper designs, and a deep cargo bed in the back.  The interior has the detailed front and rear seats with the smooth dashboard layout and two-spoke steering wheel.  The dashboard tends to stick too far back from the base of the windshield at times, leaving a large gaping hole visible from the top, and the truck is rather small and narrow for such a full-size pickup.
