437 - Superior Ambulance on Cadillac Chassis in red and cream livery

lighting mechanism is terrible

Received my ambulance today, brings me back to 1963 when I was six, what a beautiful model.
Looking forward to the “politie” beetle the Dutch version.

A very nice reissue of the earlier 1962 red and cream liveried Superior Cadillac Ambulance. Paintwork is faultless, although the upper cream painted section is a semi matte finish and not gloss as on the original. The box makes mention of seats and steering wheel, however, these are barely represented at all due to the interior space taken up by the battery compartment. All in all a great addition to the collection and looks good alongside the blue and white version.

I am a member of the subscription club, and can't miss the opportunity to get this one. Please be aware everyone that this is a high quality modern version of the original which has a different lighting system. I only say this because of a previous review, I love all of these high quality models, I was too young to own the originals so I am glad to have the opportunity to own them now and pass them on to my loved ones in years to come.

Att lampan skall ha en bimetall remsa som får den att blinka stämmer inte! Det är ett sinnrikt system som sitter på bakaxeln som ger kontakt och inte, med hjälp av ett ovalt hjul på bakaxeln som kommer då i kontakt med en metall bläck som sitter på batterihållaren som också glödlampan sitter på. Har inget som helst med glödlampan att göra, detta kunde man tillverka på 60talet i England men tydligen inte i China 2025! Då skulle det hålla för lek, idag klarar man inte ens av att göra detta till en vitrin modell. Samt att måla lampan röd var också för svårt tydligen! Svagt! Men att ta bra betalt för billig arbetskraft går bra.
