New 1:64 Peterbilt arrivals
Two American highway legends. Two completely different attitudes.
Meet the IXO/J1 Peterbilt 379 “Night Moves” and “TransAmerica” tractor-trailers—display-ready 1:64 diecast models built for serious truck collections.
Compare the two modelsThe Peterbilt 379 is one of the most recognizable American highway trucks ever built. Its long hood, upright grille, sleeper-cab profile and unmistakable chrome presence have made it a favorite among owner-operators, custom-truck builders and diecast collectors.
Two new IXO Peterbilt 379 1:64 diecast trucks now bring that classic shape to a substantial tractor-and-trailer format: the black “Night Moves” IAPR1026 and the gray-and-seafoam “TransAmerica” IAPR1027. Both are J1 Diecast Series releases with a sleeper cab, dry-goods trailer and display showcase—but their visual personalities could not be more different.
Why collectors still love the Peterbilt 379
Peterbilt introduced the Model 379 in 1986. The manufacturer describes it as the most popular owner-operated truck of all time and an enduring favorite on the show-truck circuit. Its successor, the Model 389, arrived in 2006, but the 379’s long-hooded silhouette remains inseparable from American trucking culture.
Why it works in 1:64: A tractor-trailer has far more length and presence than a passenger car in the same scale. At approximately 15 inches long, these models become natural centerpieces without forcing collectors to change scales.

Which Peterbilt 379 diecast truck should you choose?
Choose Night Moves IAPR1026 if you want the stronger custom-show-truck aesthetic. Its black finish and coordinated graphics make it the natural focal point in a dramatic display.
Choose TransAmerica IAPR1027 if you prefer vintage fleet style and a lighter color palette. The gray and seafoam combination is unusual enough to stand apart from typical red, black and blue truck models.
Because the models share the same scale, dimensions and basic configuration, they also make a strong matched pair. Display them nose-to-nose, side by side or on opposite ends of a 1:64 highway scene to compare how much the graphics change the personality of the Peterbilt 379.
Display tips for a 15-inch 1:64 tractor-trailer
- Measure shelf depth first. The models are approximately 15 inches long, so allow extra space around the front bumper and rear of the trailer.
- Use the supplied showcase. It helps reduce dust and protects small exterior details from accidental handling.
- Add a highway backdrop. A simple road surface, truck-stop scene or loading-dock background can make a long tractor-trailer display feel more complete.
- Group by scale. Pair these rigs with 1:64 pickups, highway tractors and transport models to create a consistent North American trucking collection.
- Avoid prolonged sunlight. Direct UV exposure can affect paint, graphics and packaging over time.
