Completed Surf Shark/ 1959 Cadillac Ambulance Mashup

[Karl LaFong]

I started by modifying the interior of the AMT Surf Shark, and used the wheels/tires, decals, siren, and siren from the AMT 1959 Cadillac Ambulance (and I have other plans for the 1959 Ambulance!).  Paint is Tamiya Gloss White and Italian Red; I snagged the license off the internet, and photoreduced it, and printed it on photopaper.

Not my usual subject matter, but I love th look of old Caddies.

Nice work!

I have a similar project going, it's always fun to see what someone else does with the same kit.

I purchased the AMT '59 Cadillac ambulance kit a couple days ago.. cool kit, even better than the old Ecto 1 kit. But I went another direction. I'm intrigued by both the '59 Cadillac Superior Broadmoor Skyway and the 1960 Pontiac Superior Caravelle (Google it if you're not sure), so I spent the afternoon modifying the interior by lowering a section of load floor, and installing the bench seat from the Jo-Han '66 Cadillac ambulance. No, the seat pattern is completely different, but at least it's a Cadillac seat! I used .010 Evergreen sheet for all modification work, including holes where the 2 jump seats were. It's going to look really cool! I'm now filling the roof light fixture holes. Hmm.. now what color to paint it..
