I've never heard of this brand before, but it looks like they did a very good job. It looks like a Chevrolet van, which is better than most of the generic ambulances that get made. I wonder how it scales out? |

Glad you all liked it - thought it would be an appropriate choice for the week I would lying around in a hospital bed - got lucky and got a room that allowed me to see most of the ambulances come in to the ER. It scales out to 1/64th scale - it will be a while before I can offer a comparison picture so you can all see the scale.

This Chevrolet ambulance is very detailed and accurately proportioned for 1:64. I still think some of the coolest cars in diecast are the ones you unknowingly see everyday. Thanks for the pics! |

This is a great casting but I am also stumped on the manufacture. I never heard of them and no idea where they are available. More info please.... |

$25 is the cost of admission. Great looking casting! http://www.awesomediecast.com/Chevrolet-Intensive-Care-Unit-Magen-David-Adom-p/3654.htm For that price though, I would've expected an interior.

I guess that's the combination of fund-raiser, plus funding a low-volume casting that isn't produced by one of the big diecast makers. I remember the days I could get 2 1/18 scale model cars for $25. Wow, how the times have changed! |

The $25 is less than what I paid (not that it matters to me) as I enjoyed being able to support a good cause. I am guessing maybe the organization released the extras back to Awesome Diecast to openly sell to collectors. |

You still can, heck at Costco you can pick up 2 for $20...depends on the quality you want though. Anyways, $25 is acceptable since this is basically a very limited casting made for a cause/ |
