GENERAL INFO
59B had somehow a similar faith than 55B. Being only released in D type boxes, it was the first of a series of Fire Chiefs cars (however the Park Lane would only appear later in the Superfast era). But released a bit later than 55B, it was never available in D1 sub-type. Only D2 boxes were ever made, the first with “NEW MODEL”. Two different combinations of top and bottom can be found, and the only size made was 3. The model is shown with black wheels.
The model was rather quickly replaced by 55C less than 3 years later.
RARITY
Another popular model among collectors, loose boxes are scarce. However, none is particularly rare, but of course the “NEW MODEL” one is a bit harder to find.
