Model of the Month - November 2025
Model of the Month: November 2025 – PARA64 Chevrolet Silverado “Cateye” (2006)
Onyx Black & Victory Red
Some trucks are workhorses. Others become icons.
For November, we’re doing something special by selecting two winners as our Model of the Month: the PARA64 2006 Chevrolet Silverado “Cateye”, released in Onyx Black and Victory Red. Together, they represent one of the most beloved pickup designs of the 2000s—now captured in exceptional detail at 1:64 scale.
The Silverado “Cateye” Legacy
The 2003–2007 Chevrolet Silverado is best known by its nickname: “Cateye.” That distinctive front-end design, paired with V8 power and everyday usability, made it a favorite among truck enthusiasts, tuners, and builders across North America and beyond.
Whether stock, slammed, lifted, or engine-swapped, the Cateye Silverado became a canvas for personalization—earning its place as a modern classic. To this day, it remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after Silverado generations.
Remarkably, PARA64 is currently the only brand to release this version of the Silverado in 1:64 scale, making these models especially important for collectors focused on realism, rarity, and authenticity.

Two Colors, Two Personalities
-
Onyx Black
A stealthy, aggressive look, paired with silver wheels. This version leans into the muscle-truck aesthetic—clean, bold, and timeless. -
Victory Red
Bright, confident, and unmistakably Chevrolet. Finished with black wheels, this variant feels more expressive while maintaining a factory-inspired balance.
Together, these two colorways perfectly showcase the versatility of the Cateye platform.
