Acme #I-133 1942 Buick Fastback Fire Chief's Car Red HP

This is the third Acme #I-133 car we've posted here on Toys and Stuff, the most recent was last Friday. The other cars were posted as Police Squad Cars, but the original label on the roof clearly shows this to be a a Fire Chief's car from Co No. 7 (Company Number 7). Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Here's a nice squad car for Fire and Emergency Vehicle Friday, an Acme #I-133 1942 Buick Fastback Police Car in blue HP. We posted one of these in green hard plastic back in March 2011. The car is hard plastic with black rubber tires and a rubber (or soft vinyl?) antenna attached to the rear bumper and measures 4 1/4" (10.79cm) L x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) W x 2" (5.08cm) H (to top of antenna). .Enjoy!

Acme #I-133 1942 Buick Fastback Police Car

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 car is hard plastic with black rubber tires and a rubber (or soft vinyl?) antenna attached to the rear bumper. 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:
