@Fatman : Great car, and yes I believe it was steered via the squeeze bulb. I don't have this car but do have some other toys with the same mechanism. Unfortunately the parts are mostly "rubber" and don't last nearly as well as the toy does.
@ Tom M : Good paint job and quite a accomplishment on finding all the plates, ladders, hand rails etc. Now just a couple more - a silver Sunoco and a Yellow Shell !
Best wishes to everyone on this Holiday weekend
