Moko Lesney Matchbox 59c Ford Galaxie Fire chief car

It was originally fitted with decals from the previous fire chief car but labels were also used and eventually the decals were dropped in favour of labels. A mixture of decals and labels quite common.
The wheels were always 10 x 36 black plastic and were mounted on dome head axles with rounded ends.
The roof light was usually blue but an early run with red roof light is known, the red light variation is quite rare.
To avoid models being issued with the wrong baseplate like the previous fire chief was the baseplate was marked 'No 55/59' so it could be fitted to this model or the 55c Galaxie poilce car but later the idea was revised and the base renumbered to No 59 but now the number was on a raised platform, this modification to the base was the only casting variation to be found on the model and was probably done in 1968 when the Galaxie police car was replaced by the 55d Mercury police car, umlike the Galaxie police car the fire chief was kept in the range until 1970 when it was converted to superfast wheels, it was finally deleted in 1971.
