1998 mainline release
The 1998 release is cataloged in red with white and black Emergency side decoration, smoke-tinted windows, a gray plastic base, and 5-spoke wheels. It is listed under toy number 95506 and made in China. The vehicle details match the 1997 #617 model in the available record; year and card are the supported distinctions.
Check the card year before assigning this release. A loose example with the same physical configuration may not be distinguishable from the 1997 mainline without packaging.
Condition and value research
Inspect the Emergency tampo, smoke glazing, gray base, and 5-spoke wheels. Record card and blister condition separately if the model remains packaged.
For sales research, match the 1998 package or card evidence. If the car is loose and its year cannot be established from the model, compare it as an undated matching configuration instead of claiming a 1998 provenance.
