Hi, I like the Plymouth Gran Fury in all variations and I really enjoy your pictures charliep.
My question is, is there a white one with green lights?
I've got a white on with green lights, but i'm not sure if it is sunfaded?

SF,
Thanks for the kind remarks. As I stated before, nothing surprises me when it comes to Superkings variations. Can you post a picture of your white with green lights?

Hi SF,
From the pictures it looks like it may be of a different shade. The best way to really determine if there is a difference is when you compare it next to another. The K67A Dodge Monaco Fire Chief Car is an example. It can be found in various shades of amber, blue or green and sometimes you may find different colored dome lights on the same car. I posted pictures of it on 26 August 2016.
