Fire Chief Cars in Miniature

Fire Chief Cars in Miniature
by Doug Breithaupt

The popularity of fire chief cars in 1:64 scale is likely due to the even greater popularity of police cars. if you are a diecast producer and you have produced a police cruiser casting, it makes sense to help pay for the tooling by releasing as many versions as possible. What else can you do with a police casting? It can become a taxi, medical car or road emergency car, racing pace car or as these images demonstrate, a fire chief car. Below is a selection of fire chief cars from various manufacturers. There are certainly additional examples, not presently in my collection.
