I had the plain "Emergency" van. It came with these weird Paramedic figures. One looked like John Waters.

And the confusion over this being a Mego product continues to this day. It rally shows the influence of Mego over the boys' toy aisle at that time.

Empire's CHiP's van reminds me a bit of Cooper Halloween costumes with Erik Estrada's mug plastered on the door. I would have hated that as a kid as much as I thought it was silly to have your name or the character's face on the chest of my vinyl one-sie.
