I was at my parents this past weekend and my mom wanted me to clean up my old toy fire truck so she could put it under the tree for decoration. All I had with me was Gold Class Wash, Detailer Line Express Wax, Microfiber and a Wheel Face Brush. She was just expecting that I would dust it off. I don't think so, It needed a good coat of wax. It was tucked under the stairs with about 20 years of dust and spider webs. Now the family thinks I'm crazy... lol I knew you all would understand.

There are old metal fire trucks on that large online auction site.
You can even find some 1950 era Tonkas, or 1920 Buddy L (ladder trucks can go for more than $2,000 if in good condition).
There are made in China reproduction fire Truck Pedal Cars.
If you use caution, you might even find an older pedal fire truck.
I restored (does not have pedal mechs) the one above, that likely was built 1950-1955.
It has wagon wheels and not pedal car wheels, yet the wheels/tires are available.
