Continuing our thread of the 1964 GM tractor ....
here's some pictures and footage of the similar Markers Universal Tractor designed by Century 21's Mike Trim for the TV show UFO.
The prop was listed on the Prop Gallery site.
The full listing is as follows:

Scoop reported on the prop's appearance at SHADO Con 2 in 2018.

Here's a clip from SmurfyDan I found too on You Tube showing the prop tractor and model trailer being remotely-controlled at the convention
Do you like this vehicle?
Love it. It always reminds me of a similar lorry cab seen in Cap Scarlett and Joe 90. I wished I owned the remote controlled version.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few real vehicles with this sort of off-set single cab. They tend to be specialist vehicles used in the logging or mining industries. Smaller vehicles are used in factories or warehouses. Not too many models, which is a pity.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite brilliant and would have made a great JR21 toy!
