Decals of fire helmets with the number 6 are applied to both cab doors. The vehicle is equipped with yellow metal wheel hubs and solid black rubber tires. Mechanical features include a front-mounted silver-tone metal bell, a steering column topped with a T-handle, and a drop-down rear tailgate. The maker’s mark is visible on the lithographed side panel, showing the circular Marx Toys logo with the text MADE IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

There is notable paint loss, scratching, and scuffing throughout the orange finish and silver-tone grille. The lithographed graphics on the sides are intact and legible but exhibit wear and scratches. The rubber tires show typical age-related drying and wear.
