The 1960 Volkswagen Type 2 Pickup is a highly detailed 1:64 scale diecast model produced by M2 Machines. This vintage air-cooled commercial utility vehicle tool has been featured across premium collector lines, notably including the classic Mooneyes "Southern California Style" and Built with Grit and Glory (Series S60) editions. The casting features an authentic forward-cab design layout, split windshield, real rubber tires, and a distinct diecast flatbed truck layout complete with fold-down style drop-gates.
