S&S Cadillac Ambulance Matchbox '60 Matchbox Series Emergency Service

The model represents an S&S Cadillac ambulance approximately 74 mm long, made from a combination of a metal body and plastic parts. The body has a simple shape characteristic of emergency vehicles, with a high rear section, white paintwork and blue windows that contrast with the light-coloured body. Three red warning lights are fitted to the roof and are the most recognisable detail of this diecast model. The model comes from English production in the 1960s and is marked with catalogue number No 54. The example has retained its basic character, although significant paint loss and rubbing are visible, typical of a well-used loose model. This condition gives it an authentic, archival appearance, although it limits its display appeal.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
