Taurus Stocker (1:43) Casting Reference | Loose Hot Wheels
Taurus Stocker (1:43)
The 98 Ford Taurus Stocker is the successor to the T-Bird Stocker. This is the 1:43 scale version of the Taurus Stocker (1998). When Hot Wheels created their NASCAR line; the Pro Racing it took them a year in 1998 to produce the bigger 1:43 & 1:24 scales. Ironically, that was the same year for the Ford Taurus Stocker appeared in NASCAR. So there never was a 1:43 scale version of the Ford Thunderbird Stocker or a 1:24 scale version of the Ford Thunderbird Stocker.
