Did this truck/lorry ever have a load?

I knows that Maisto was making the same truck but with 6 wheels instead of 8
A former SuperFast model?

Always will do close ups if someone needs it on anything I get ^_^

They must have used random plates on those Kenners. I have a nearly identical white Firebird as that one, but it has South Carolina plates with "DSB430" numbers. They are obviously of good paper (or vinyl), as even after I washed the three I have, the plates are still in great shape.

Yes, plates are random (some issues came with a sticker sheet and the owner could pick the plate). Plates were made for all 50 states, all Provinces of Canada, and all regions of Britain, depending on the market they were sold in.

Yes, I believe that is the pipe hauler. Yes, it made it briefly into the Superfast era.

Thanks for the photos! I am new at the details on MB, but as I see your two trucks the one with the extra ribs near the rear axles is the "3rd" version of the 10d casting. I would have to go back and check the details on the other one, but I am thinking it is the "1st" version without the two hook area in the front base.

Check out dadscornet #ed series posts in the Matchbox bay section her at swiftys for more details about them and other lesney 75s! :thumbup:

yeah I remember that
but after a while Kenner just put on the plates
So it was hard to find your own state

I have a decent number of Fast 111s, most still with their plates. But I haven't managed to find a Texas one yet.
