1:18th Original GreenLight Fastback tool for Bullitt Special Edition
GreenLight uses new casting to add 1:18 scale offering to the Bullitt offerings
Indianapolis, IN (June 9, 2011) Warner Brothers and GreenLight have come together to replicate Steve McQueen’s Bullitt Mustang in 1:18th scale movie memorabilia. Bullitt, produced in 1968, is an American classic starring Steve McQueen. The critically acclaimed and culturally historic action/suspense film is best-remembered for the “Highland Green” 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback, driven by McQueen through the streets of San Francisco.
Honoring the movie that made the Mustang one of the most popular cars of the 60s and 70s, GreenLight has produced two versions of the iconic ’68 Mustang GT Fastback. The tooling for this diecast piece is an original GreenLight offering and can be expected to deliver on a superior level of production quality and accuracy.
The 1:18 Bullitt offerings include; a Regular Edition in Highland Green (the exact paint scheme used in the movie) and a Chrome Edition. The chrome metallic green edition is a glamorous homage to Bullitt’s aesthetically significant car scenes that revolutionized Hollywood’s standards of a chase sequence.
