S&S Cadillac Ambulance - 54b |
|
| All the UK die-cast car makers seemed to make these improbable
American ambulances, here is
the version according to Lesney, shame the back does not open. This
Matchbox offering crosses over the introduction of Superfast wheels and is found as a regular wheels version with the
red cross as
a small or large sticker or as a decal, there are guides cast into the
doors to help locate the stickers, the small stickers do not reach all
the way between the guides. The Superfast version is either
white or off-white. The Cadillac Ambulance (54b) was introduced in 1965 and was converted to Superfast wheels in 1970. It was deleted in 1971. There are no very rare versions of the regular wheels version and it appears to be a very easily found item, the ones with larger door stickers fetch a small premium however. The Superfast versions a a little harder to find and consequently more highly priced with the off white one being slightly rarer than the white one |
