![]() Today's car of the day is Summer's 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300 TE Wagon. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Mercedes-Benz 300 TE ![]() ![]() When toy cars with lights and sirens were at the height of popularity, numerous different brands were offering the feature. Even Summer got in on the bandwagon. I have not seen any non lighted versions of this casting, so I have drawn the conclusion that this Mercedes wagon was made specifically for the light / sound series, and not used elsewhere. If anyone has one of these in civilian guise, please share! For that matter, anyone with any other variations, please show them off! My German police version was acquired second-hand, and hasn't ever worked while in my possession, so I can't comment on the type of siren it originally blared. ![]()

Neat little Mercedes Wagon. I have an ambulance version (lights and siren no longer work - the lights were typical for these types of models but if I recall the siren sound wasn't all that great). I was going to post a picture of my ambulance but photobucket is not working again today so maybe later. I found mine in a hospital gift shop years ago - I know also had a blue police wagon and pretty sure a fire wagon - not sure why I didn't pick them up at the time. |

As usual the weird Summer wheels are kinda bleh, but not too bad for a super budget car otherwise. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I think Summer cars are for the most part, rubbish, but I'd want this one. I'd take it even without the working lights/siren! |
