Dodge ‘Kew Fargo’ Livestock Transporter with Five Pigs. What a splendid Corgi this is, great modelling and some fantastic detail and features, the chassis with the prop shaft detail is excellent. Typical of Corgi to spend such a lot of effort on modelling a cattle truck so well. The opening tailboard and bonnet are the expected features - the detailed bright work and engine are extras, the novel feature is the detailed chassis which is really good. The back body is the Beast Carrier trailer re-cycled but the chassis-cab is brand new and very nicely done.
The Dodge Livestock Transporter was added to the range in 1967 and was deleted in 1969. Early releases have spun hubs, later ones have cast hubs, this is the only listed variation and does not affect values. The usual issue with these is the missing pigs and their cardboard plinth.
The one on the right has spun hubs and unusually for a played with and unboxed example retains the cardboard bedding and three of the four pigs in the back - I know I have a fourth somewhere but cannot put my hands on it. The other one is later with cast hubs.
