The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

![]() Today's car of the day from harlans toys' collection and is Matchbox's 1965 Ford Galaxie Fire Chief. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Ford Galaxie ![]() Another beautiful vintage Lesney, this fire chief casting has only one flaw in my opinion, and that's the additional cast lines on the hood and doors to lineup the stickers. They're overly distracting- especially on customs that have been turned into civilian models (Matchbox only offered this one in police and fire trim).

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I'd be glad to find as many of these I could, even though we have the excellent Greenlight casting. |

You have got a WINNER there, that one was my favorite back when it was new and it still looks mighty good today.

I'm very proud: I found this one in a laundry basket at Bob & Terry's Card Shop, next to the Bayside station of the Long Island Railroad, one day in 1971. I picked it up with the model that replaced it, the Mercury. Both have pristine metal bases, they've always been safely stored. The SF Galaxie is NOT common, although it can be obtained for reasonable money. Lesney really got the car right, from all angles! |
