I like the models, the Texas Twister as already be made by ERTL, but this one is surely a better model in quality.
It's an old relase :

They 1:1s have nothing to do with Texas as it was a Kansas City Ford district sales campaign. They did Mustang Twisters and Torino Twisters (which Ertl also did).
The 1/18s were commissioned by Town & Country from Ertl. Within the 6,500 made, 2,000 were numbered and 96 of them have the VIN of the original 96 1:1 made.
I sold my 1/96 to a Mustang Club of Houston member that has a 1:1 and bought one of the more common ones.
