23d Pink caravan

Post by Sebastian10 »

This is the early body style with the different wheel combinations - fine treads on the front axle and knobbly treads on the rear axle

I don't know if this is rare but it is the first one I have seen

I would class that as a Factory Oops. Are the wheels paired on each axle, I.E. one axle has both wheels with the knobbly tread etc.

Yes - the front axle has fine wheels each side and the rear axle has knobbly wheels each side

See photo of other side

I also have one of them, exactly like yours.
Thanks again to our caveman who pointed it out to me during one of the Macungie shows.....

Here is another version - this is the later bodystyle with the knobbly wheels to the front and fine wheels on the rear axle.

There is factory wheel damage to one rear fine wheel - the one on the other side is undamaged

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Brad

Would you have a picture of the yellow one with the mixed wheels? I am on the lookout for one of these.

In the meantime I am making do with the standard yellow model - this is the early issue with the all yellow painted interior

Thanks

Dan, I did not see any pictures of the Yellow Caravan with small and large treaded wheels together in the 'Photobucket' account I was able to get into.
