This is the Case 1570 "Spirit of
'76" in 1/16 scale. The tractor was
issued by the
Toy Tractor Times magazine in 2005 as their 22nd anniversary tractor,
and the third tractor in their "Big 70's Power"
series. The
tractor features sturdy, die-cast construction, rubber tires, and
diecast rear rims. Details unique to this model include clear cab glass, precision diecast rear
rims with 20.8 X 38 rear tires, diamond-tread front tires, authentic
Spirit of 76 paint scheme, realistic drawbar and three-point hitch, and
cast-in inscription denoting model as the Toy
Tractor Times 22nd anniversary tractor.
This particular model was one of only 28 chrome units
produced for Toy Tractor Times authors and supporters. It has all
the detailed
features of the production tractor, but the diecast body is finished in
chrome instead of white paint. Personally, I think this is the
best looking of the chrome tractors and my favorite by far. What
says America better than red, white, blue and chrome?
The
model has never been displayed, and was only removed from the
packaging for these pictures. It was carefully repackaged after the
photos were
taken. The box is in
mint condition. Item will be shipped in it’s original shipping
carton, which in turn will be put inside an oversized box with packing
material around it.

model. Serious inquiries only please.
