Hi All, I'm a new member of your forum and I've started collecting some of the Jada 1/64 cars (mostly Muscle cars). I was wondering, since I've never seen one, is the COE trucks correct in scale? I guess what I'm asking is are they bigger than the cars? Will a car fit on the back of one, like it should? Thanks for any info on the subject. Gabby

yes and no.... the trucks aren't as large as you might expect them to be but the back slides out about 3/4 inch to make room for just about any of the Jada cars to fit "snugly" on the rear of the truck. The COE's are probably a little harder to come by as they are most likely snatched up by anyone who is so lucky to have actually found one. Myself included. I will try and get a pick up for ya.... metallic green COE with a matching metallic green and black flamed Chevelle riding piggyback.

Funny... I have that same green Chevelle sitting on my green COE. But I did a little something extra to it. Its actually the first custom 1:64 I built and I slammed the Chevelle a little more too.

I was lucky enough to find lots of those COE Fords.
my favorite though was the one in 1/24 scale.
Jada really did a nice job on these trucks.

In the small scale line the Trucks are abt 1/64th while there cars are in a 1/55 scale. & the large scale are out of proportion also. 99% of the diecast companies make there stuff to fit a standard blister or box so they can ship them easier and in the same Qty cases all the time which leads to casts that should be bigger than the rest being undersized. The smaller jada coes work perfect for HW, JL, MB, GL etc, just not the oversized jada cars.
