Description

A striking fusion of craftsmanship and cinematic history, this handcrafted semi-trailer truck model was built in the 1970s by a professor who specialized in pyrotechnic film miniatures. Designed with precision and intention, it features a tractor with articulating parts that expose the detailed frame and engine, along with a detachable trailer that can stand alone or be hitched for display.

Constructed primarily from painted wood and accented with metal components, real rubber tires, and textured mudflaps, this model big rig offers more than nostalgia—it’s a showstopper. Includes the original driver figure for added personality and realism.

Whether you call it a semi, big rig, eighteen-wheeler, or tractor-trailer, this piece speaks the universal language of craftsmanship, storytelling, and Americana.
