Curb Side

Curb Side is a Drop Tops-styled stepside pickup truck. It was #3 of 10 vehicles in the Drop Tops series. The Drop Tops were introduced in 2005 as flattened, cartoon-like versions of various vehicles, all with wheel well arches well above the car's roofline. These cars are known to perform well on track sets as they benefit from their low center of gravity. Re-releases of Drop Tops vehicles have been somewhat limited. The Curb Side has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:
