In July of 1917 the U.S. government issued the contract to Ford to produce an ambulance for WW1. And by September, Ford had made over 2400 of these. They were built on the Model T touring car chassis as is this one on a Jordan chassis and front clip and a scratch built body. I want to find a decent decal to put over my hand painted red cross.

I think I might have found some 1/72 decals to work, thanks Cor. Here's the new Sylvan GMC Crackerbox (DF7000) in a day cab, short chassis. A-Line tires on the Sylvan rims.

Looks great. Those other tires were the only addition to the model?

The only other addition made was the small stirrup step under the battery box. Otherwise, it's out of the box. I should mention that the entire engine is fully detailed and really well done (complete with radiator fan). Shame to have to hide it all but I couldn't figure out how to make the cab tilt forward to expose it. I may buy another of these kits just to get the engine.

Another Sylvan piece here in the White 4000. The dump bed is from the Life-Like (Scene Masters) '54 Ford that comes 2 in a package for around $8.00. Added Ralph Ratcliffe tire/wheel combo, mud flaps, tow hooks under front bumper and a little weathering.

This was another new release from Sylvan at the Springfield RR show in January, the 1949-53 Studebaker R series. The flatbed here was scratch built and the tires/wheels are Jordan products.

I really like the Chev COE and your rendition of it as a wrecker.

Thanks guys Cor, In speaking with Clare at Springfield in January, he told me that between the 2010 and 2011 shows that he released over 25 new models. It's hard to keep track of everything he comes out with in an up-to-date fashion. By the way, I've seen the 33 Willys up close and it's just super. He's working on the chassis now and I can't wait to turn one into a B-gasser.

It's amazing and all superior quality! The photos on his site do not reflect the quality of the models. Exept yours off course.
