Very nice. Most are familiar with the vintage Ahrens Fox fire engine in the Hot Wheels line. It was nice to see High Speed do this mid '50's version in their series of fire engines as a promo item through Reader's Digest books. This one is probably my favorite of the series -

This is pretty cool. One of my general collecting 'rules' is that a vehicle can't have a vacant windshield space, but if I ever found this one, I'd create a simple windshield with some clear plastic packaging, and welcome it to my collection. |

Support your local demo derby.

This is a narrow focus in the hobby that is sorely missing right now. With High Speed out of business and with Code 3 no more we have no one left making emergency fire trucks for collectors. |
