MB54 Cadillac Ambulance Variation

Post by nearlymint »

Front model looks like a regular wheel body on a superfast base, lacks the ridge around the roof light and the window pillars are thin.

Also on the base the PAT APP is slightly different(left model) further apart.

I do not have may of these models(4) so I am not sure how common they are, all my other superfast versions have the roof light ridge with wider roof pillars and the PAT APP closer together.
