The Graffic Traffic series was from the early 90's, best I can determine anyway, since the 4 sets I have are dated 1991 and 1992, but I just thought folks here might like to see these sets. Of course the ones I have are mostly emergency related, but then they might just be the only ones I'd ever run across through the years at a price I was willing to pay, since I really can't recall seeing them out in the wild much since I'd been collecting. The sets come with permanent markers, and a sticker sheet, and in the cases of the Graffic City sets, there is also a plastic building facade to decorate as well. Fire set ![]() Bacx of fire set ![]() Marine Rescue set, not actually sure of the names of these sets, but I do see a sticker in the sheet that says marine rescue and goes above the boat bay in the building. ![]() back of marine set ![]() Mixed set with Chevy ambulance, Vauxhall police car, and unknown make Speed King race car. ![]() back of mixed set, it appears to have two sticker sheets, whereas the others come with one, I have a hunch the second sheet may be the stickers depicted in the drawing. ![]() ![]() Racing transporter set, with neon colors. ![]() ![]() Hope you enjoyed seeing them. |

I stumbled on this series, still don't know what all was in it. I found the Dodge Challenger, loose, which is a model I like. Since then I found another with a VW Panel and another I don't recall offhand. I like that one with the KW hauler. |

I have a very special Graffic Traffic model in my collection that my son created when he was younger. I am currently out in the State of Washington so can't offer a picture but will try and remember when I get home next weekend.

Ya know I can't even recall ever running across any loose ones, really all I've ever found were these sets, and it's been at least a decade since finding the last one of them. |

Funny to think about, but yeah I imagine a lot of the models were made a mess of by kids and others who tried their hand at decorating them. Don't forget that some of the blanks used for promo models started out as plain white like these, although I don't what the chances would be to run across a promo blank in the wild.

I have a number of these picked up on the secondary market. Yes, finding them in untouched white would be pretty rare as most had been decorated. Usually with the permanent markers, rarely with the stickers. The two fire trucks and the Rancho are new to me. These often had white baseplates too, so that's a possible way to differentiate them from the promo blanks. |

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

I remember picking up this because it had the Vauxhall (Pontiac LeMans/Passport Optima). My girlfriend at the time had a Optima in white, so I gave the markers to my young cousins to colour with. I might even still have the "Optima" somewhere-the others left a LONG time ago. I probably should have picked up the police boat and Matra Rancho back then,too...

That's neat John, your son Josh knew how much you loved collecting emergency vehicles even at his young age back then.
