Like
most kids, fire trucks --especially the old chain-drive variety,
really got my attention as they wailed down the street, with
the chains making neat growling noises; with helmeted fireman
hanging on for dear life! The name for this kit "FIRECRACKER",
was a natural...I mean, if you can crack a safe, you can crack
a fire. This first version was/is one cool kit; and one of
my better box art efforts. The ultra-WIDE wheels and low profile
tires were only about 25 years ahead of their time--Story
of my life.
