The XJ Cherokee defined the 1980s American driveway, and PCX87 captures it at 1:87 in black with gold bodyside pinstriping, gold-finish alloy wheels and 4x4 badging on the rear quarter. It arrives fully assembled and decorated, so it goes straight from the box to a parking lot, a grade crossing or a suburban street scene.
Because it is a plain civilian car rather than a work vehicle, it fills the role most layouts are short of: ordinary traffic. Its companion in the same PCX87 run is the California Highway Patrol Cherokee, PCX870730, and the two look right parked in the same scene.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a kit?
No. It comes fully assembled and decorated. Take it out of the packaging and set it down.
Is it die-cast or plastic?
Plastic. PCX87 tools these in ABS rather than metal, which is how they hold this much printed detail at 1:87.
How big is it?
About 2 inches long, correct 1:87 scale for an HO layout.
Do the wheels roll?
Yes, but treat it as an adult collectible display model rather than a toy. It is not built for play or for children.
What year does this fit?
The XJ Cherokee ran from 1984 well into the 1990s with few visual changes, so it suits any layout set from the mid 1980s onward.
