This is a beautiful Snorkel Fire Truck #63 from the Matchbox Gold Challenge Series. These were Chase Cars that were mixed in with the regular models

They made a Gold Challenge Vehicle for each of the 75 castings in the 1997 Matchbox lineup. They are limited editions, and came with the traditional Matchbox. Additionally, the GTO Judge & Ford Flareside castings were done as two additional Gold Challenge vehicles, and sold in random 10 packs.

It is a great cross-collectible, so if you collect Matchbox or Fire Vehicles this will be a wonderful addition to your collection. (1:64 Scale)
