Joal 214 Caterpillar 920 Wheel Loader 1:50 die-cast metal Model #99
Among heavy equipment collectors, the Joal Ref #214 Caterpillar 920 is viewed as a nostalgic, heavy-duty «bridge» model that sits right on the borderline between a vintage toy and a serious collectible. Because Joal went out of business, their pieces have gained a dedicated following for their historical value rather than hyper-realism. Collectors tracking the history of Caterpillar licensing specifically look for this exact version because it captures the transition window where CAT updated their corporate identity into the modern era.
