MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1951 GMC C.O.E. Collector Guide
The little GMC puts its rounded cab right at the front, leaving a tall cargo bed for the artwork. Cereal, candy, magazine covers and cartoon characters all suit that broad rectangular side. Line them up and the cab colors, window tints and tire stripes become just as useful as the logos.

What to look for
The Cheerios and Butterfinger trucks use colored lines around deep-dish tires, while the Saturday Evening Post, Top Cat and Peanuts releases use white-line perforated-style wheels. The Mounds truck has its own red-and-white treatment. All six pictured releases have metal bases and Real Riders.

Each photo links to the release it shows.
Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the front grille, rounded cab corners and top rails of the cargo bed. Those raised edges are the places most likely to pick up handling marks.
The cargo-bed artwork is part of the truck’s identity. Ask for both sides when buying loose, especially when a listing only shows the cleanest panel.
Collector questions
