Pictures: Ferryman
The first in a series of new pictures of Century 21 and related toys. This is a rare window boxed Climbing Four Wheel Drive Wrecker Truck discovered by Ferryman. Its not labelled Century 21 but the toy is clearly the same as you can see from the C21 example below with a grey coloured cab and red rear - the same as the one pictured on the window box above! [note the rare factory label on the box below].

I think there is a chain involved Lance. I'll have a look at mine. I didn't have a Mighty Mike set as a kid but in the early 1990's I found a huge boxed Skyway set at a fleamarket and snapped it up. A thing of rare beauty, each interchangeable vehicle top was separately boxed inside the main box. the white jeep itself was great with, as you say, those chunky wheels and hubs. It was REMCO wasn't it, Mighty Mike? Marx used similar wheels for their hill climbing range too and I can well imagine that Century 21 Toys hill climbing range borrowed heavily from them. I wish I still had that Skyway set!
