I recently acquired the turquoise/red flash version, so now I have 'em all. Introduced in 1958 and withdrawn in 1962, at some point, 1959 or 1960, the cast wheels were replaced with spun metal. I think all had white tires with treads, but I could be proven wrong.

In 1961 a fire chief version appeared (sometimes called Canadian Fire Chief).

Also in 1961, the casting was revised to make a 1960 Cross Country wagon. Too bad they didn't use this for the fire chief.

Nice score Harv.  I have all of these in my collection and love them. Just to keep a certain someone "color suppressed" for a change....how about we call the colors turquoise and dark red and the other one pink and blue?  No chance of the "Woeful Wagon" appearing yet again that way. Lol.
