Hey you, get into my car!
Tired of the state quarters, yet still feel an unfullfilled need to find oddly unrepresentative representations of all 50 states? Matchbox feels your pain.
Matchbox, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that North Carolina is best represented by the Snorkel Fire Truck, because after all, when you think of North Carolina, you think “High Rise Apartment fires”, not Nascar, or tractors in a tobacco field, or immense trucks pulling loads of constantly defecating swine off to the slaughterhouse.
Alabama - Airport Fire Pumper. Alabama, famous the world over for its airports.
Georgia - VW van. Because it’s the spiritual home of Dead-Heads everywhere.
Tennessee - Don’t think Saturn, think Nissan!
Poor Louisiana doesn’t even rate its own car
I’ll admit that the Highway Maintenance Truck fits North Dakota, and the Tow Truck is a nice swipe at New York. My favorite, though, is the Matchbox representation of Texas, the Dodge Dakota.
