XIN KA ER 1965 FORD RANCHERO HOT WHEELS COPY 1/64

Looking almost like a Lego brick on wheels rather than a mid 1960's car derived pick-up is this hilarious copy of the original Hot Wheels 1965 Ford Ranchero.
Made by Xin Ka Er its part of remarkably extensive line of HW and MBX copies and follows the path tread by many modern low end Chinese toy makers. Its casting features are rather deep and crisp if somewhat clumsily achieved but also like a lot of low end Chinese toy makers they've come on leaps and bounds with paint quality.
Part of a six vehicle set.
Mint and boxed.
