Today on Fire Engine and Emergency Vehicle Friday we bring you a nifty plastic police car from the 1950s, the Acme #I-133 1942 Buick Fastback Police Car.

The identification for this car came from one of Walt Hiteshew's excellent toy and train identification guides "A Pictorial Guide to Plastic Cars & Trucks". There are many brands covered, some quite obscure and at $14.95 + postage it is well worth the money. The guide is one of several available on CD at:
