In a small town and on the farm, there is always something that needs fixing. More often than not what needs done is beyond the range of most people's skills. That's why Ralph Cummings has made an enjoyable - and appreciated - living as Mr. Fixit. Whether unclogging the Widow Harris' sink, painting the back shed for the Norkins or replacing gutters throughout the town after last week's stormy weather, Mr. Fixit is ready to tackle any job; and he approaches each challenge with such good spirit and personality that he is a favourite throughout the town.

With a wide variety of tools and a job that often takes him on unpaved roads and over many miles, Mr. Fixit relies on a truck that is dependable and sturdy. That is why he drives a Holden. Road tested on the rough terrain of Australia, the Holden was known as "Australia's own car" and was exported widely, particularly to the Near East and Africa. Any truck that can weather the Australian outback or the African bush can certainly be depended on to take Mr. Fixit wherever he is needed. Now, Mr. Fixit's 1951 FX Holden Pickup truck is captured in a bright and handsome die-cast replica. Marked with his signature statement, "Mr. Fixit, Handyman Service and Repairs," your Mr. Fixit 1951 FX Holden Pickup Truck is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
