On Wednesday, June 29, the New York Yankees are hosting the Yankee Ford Explorer Night, a family-friendly event that includes giveaways and prizes. Greenlight Toys has teamed up with the New York Yankees and Ford Explorer to create a 1:64 2011 Ford Explorer replica in full Yankees regalia for the game. The first 18,000 fans who attend and are 14 years old or younger will receive a complimentary die-cast 1:64 2011 Explorer as they walk in. One lucky fan will receive a full size Ford Explorer, courtesy of Northeast Ford Dealers, with the same Yankees theme as the version from Greenlight.
Greenlight also plans to incorporate the 1:64 Ford Explorer model into its regular offerings, including a police-themed vehicle for its series, Hot Pursuit.
