Welcome to the Feb. 2018 edition of "Tailboard Talk"! This month we are featuring any Emergency related die-cast version of the Ford Econoline van. The Econo-line has been around for decades and was a workhorse of emergency response during the 1970s, 80s and beyond. It had a great run up until a few years ago. Please join us as we share pictures, info, or stories about any Police, Fire, and EMS E-series vans. OK, time's up... Let's do this! |

I'll start it off with a simple, but clean looking version of the Ford Econoline van dressed up in Fire Department uniform -

They were made in Korea - I know the ones I have were all found in a grocery store chain in St. Louis. |

the only other King Star models I know of are Mercedes fire chief, Mercedes sedan ambulance, and the aerial ladder truck. Did they make any Police vehicles? Edited by Hoseman, Feb 1 2018, 11:29 PM.

Yes, the Mercedes was released in the green and white colors of police cars in Germany but Police labels in English. |

Funny the only place I ever saw them around here was a Walbum's Food Mart in the 80's. A Yatming.

Here is the Yatming Ford Ambulance that came in the same set as the fire van. I always thought is was weird that all the versions of the fire and police vans have a light bar, but I have never seen the ambulance come with one.

While looking at my Econo-vans, I found this Yatming/Univ.Studio "fire" van without a light bar or rotator. P.S. The Yatming vans I have without light bars were made in Hong Kong. The van with the light bar was made in China. That maybe the difference. I believe the newer ones have the lighting. The toy industry finally caught up with the 1/1 trend of light bars.

I think I have a blue civilian version of that Mercedes also, but then that doesn't apply to the emergency board. Well this one might be an iffy Econoline, or possibly a modified version of one.

Firedog, This is why the Fire van with a light bar and the Ambulance without one was always so funny to me, they came in the same set. I have sen this set up with every Yatming set I can recall with both an Ambulance and either a Fire or Police van. ![]() The Econoline with red graphics.

Here are two "knock-offs" of the Yatming vans. Very small difference in graphics and different bases. Both were made in HK.![]() ![]() |
