    1950's? Is there no manufacturing stamp on the inside? What does it say there on the door?

    Sorry i took more pictures but it didnt let me upload. the words on the door are very rubbed out but i think it says fire chief. on the bottom is a very unique looking motor ill see if i can get more pics later.

    Is this it? toychief.jpg
    Could be Hubley but should be stamped on the bottom. Is there a friction motor inside, so it rolls when pushed? That would make it rare.

    Not sure either of these two links will work, or even persist to display the correct pic, but both identify what appears to be an identical vehicle as Hubley:

    komokwa, thanks for the like for our ellipsis -- got all het up thinking we'd noticed some valuable information, posted, immediately realized we were way off the beam, couldn't delete our post, so just edited it down to dot dot dot before it exposed us as blithering idiots...

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Could you add a photo of the bottom of the car? It sounds like some people might be able to give more information if they see the bottom. (I don't have knowledge about this myself.)

    Yes, that is very different from the other one. I hope somebody can give insight.
