1965 Ford Econoline Appraisal

M2 Machines 1965 Ford Econoline Delivery Van (Schwinn Sting-Ray Edition)

This is a 1:64 scale die-cast metal model of a 1965 Ford Econoline Delivery Van, produced by M2 Machines as part of a specialized licensing partnership with the Schwinn Bicycle Company. The vehicle features a two-tone paint scheme consisting of a crisp white body and a vibrant red roof. The exterior is adorned with authentic period-correct Schwinn branding, prominently displaying the 'SCHWINN' wordmark across the side panels and the iconic 'Sting-Ray' script below it. The Schwinn cross logo is visible on the front door and the retail packaging header. The construction utilizes high-quality die-cast metal for the body and chassis, combined with plastic detailing for the windows and black rubber-like tires with silver trim hubcaps. The model is mounted on a plastic display stand inside its original window-box packaging, which includes a display base identifying the make and year of the vehicle. Notable features include realistic headlights and a high-detail grille representative of the mid-1960s Ford design. The item appears to be in mint, unopened condition ('NIB'), with no visible wear to the paint or damage to the clear plastic viewing window. The packaging header also indicates a limited production run, which is a hallmark of the M2 Machines brand, often denoted by '1 of [Quantity]' numbering, signifying its collectible status. The craftsmanship is highly detailed for this scale, highlighting the brand's commitment to 'Auto-Thentic' replicas.
