I do have some 9 mm GPW wheels (20 tread count) which I can send if you like.
Hi Kurt,

Thanks a lot.

The Ghost has two Problems which I saw while cleaning.
One of the rims is somehow corroded and one of the 2 Fender holder Front left side is missing.
Here are some pics.

Broken towing arms are common on this model. I think owners try and fit the Caravan onto too many different cars, mainly of non-Matchbox origin so it is subjected to force from the wrong sized hook, or...it was dropped on the floor...

Very nice Bluebird caravan. I've always like this one.
The broken hitch may have contributed to the good condition of the paint and the decal since the toy could not be played with as actively.
PS
I found a few SPW which I included with the GPW to you.
Enjoy!
Kurt

Nice restoration on Hendrickson! The glass and wheels look like the day they came from the factory. The paint is a bold choice; I can't wait to see the tractor and trailer together.
Below, a few photos for last week's T-bird.
