Ford Toys

Ever wonder why Ford toy tractors are 1/12 while the other brands are 1/16.  In the 1950's when Ford introduced Jubilee Series they asked Hubbley to produce scale model toys of the tractor. A Ford executive wanted make sure the Ford toys stood out so they were made slightly bigger than the IH, John Deere, Case and Allis-Chalmers toys of the day.  Ertl stayed with the tradition of large toys with models like the Ford 4000 set and 9600. The last 1/12 Ertl model was the FordTW-25.
