I purchased this 1960s Buddy L Light Up Fix A Flat Tire Tow Truck on HiBid March of 2021.This thing wasn't even blown off before being sent off to auction. It still was covered in spider webs and dirt all over it. Makes you wonder where this poor truck has been sitting for years. Overall it wasn't in terrible shape, just very well played with. The worst of the rust was on the passenger side rear of the tow truck bed. It was missing a windshield, the wrench for the tires, the flat tire, and tow hook otherwise it was in decent shape for its age. I'm not extremely happy with the color choice for this one and typically like something with a little more shine to it, however I believe it's very close to the orginal finish the truck would have had. I'm a sucker for the light up trucks so this one will look great with the rest of them. When I was putting the Light cover on top it actually broke in half and I had to glue it back together to get the video out, I've got a new one on order as well as a replacement windshield. The windshield that I recieved was scratched ont he inside. I'm not 100% sure that I didn't scratch it after recieving it however It may have came that way also, either way it'll be replaced again.
