1975 Road Rovers Fiery Fred Die-Cast Metal Car (Mint in Package)

Road Rovers were a series of very cartoonish, almost balloon like cars produced by Hallmark in the mid 1970s and revived in the mid 1980s. Early models were loosely based on vehicles typically seen on the road like fire engines, ice cream trucks, moving vans, and such. They had metal bases painted the same color as the body. Later models featured two series: several were updated versions of the original cars, and then there were new models based on objects such as vacuum cleaners or piggy banks. The later versions featured plastic bases. The wheels move. Each car is its own unique character and some originally came in a box that was decorated to correspond with the car. The design is a comical, vintage look that is sure to fit with styles popular today.
