| #60-0439 - 1/64 Scale Western Distributing - Peterbilt Model 351 with 63" Sleeper and Vintage 40' Refrigerated Trailer |
This model celebrates a unique Western
Distributing fleet truck from years back, driven by WDTC
senior driver, Frank Piroddi. According to Piroddi, he is currently
driving his last truck, #777 for good luck, after more than 40 years of service at
WDTC. Coincidentally, #777 was the number of his first truck as well.

Frank's handle for his first truck was the "Italian Stallion", as graphically represented on the side of the tractor's sleeper. The "Fly Like an Eagle" graphic emblazoned on the air deflector was added later by request, as Frank was known for his speed, still holding the record at fourteen pickups of wine in California in one day!
