Oh, so you bought two of 'em.
😉 Jacques, I don't normally collect ambulances and service vehicles but this one looks terrific, especially at that price. Thanks for posting the great pix.

I had a ride in one of these when a college kid. With broken ribs the ride was not so smooth. And even tho my Dad was a doctor and my son-in-law too. I call these meat wagons. So I have no idea why anyone collects them. (Then again I also do not collect motorcycle models.)

Quite similar to the NEO. I wonder how they compare side-to-side. There's a very large price difference, to be sure!

My thoughts also. By the looks from the pics posted it looks like a winner.

I just noticed how similar this new one is to my older Hot Wheels 1:43 Ghost Hunters version. (PICs)

Sorry, but clearly Atlas don't know the subject.
First, it's not a Miller Meteor if it's scripted "Superior" on the rear fender...
Superior is a coach builder company, as well as Miller Meteor( Wayne Corporation) is another one.
So same incongruity here as seeing a Ford Mustang model with a "corvette Stingray" script on it...
This Cadillac is a Superior Ambulance.
Then, proportionally and accurately speaking, it's quite far from the real car, and the model share a lot of similarities with NEO's latest ambulances and hearse, as well as 1/18th Precisions Miniatures '59 Cadillacs, such as way too stretched rear decks and overly disproportionate fins.
1959s HotWheels's Ecto-1 Cadillac ( Miller Meteor conversion ) and GLM's Broadmoor Skyview ( Hess & Eisenhardt conversion ) are quite more accurate but also quite more pricey.
Now, all things considered, it's only 15-20 bucks, so why not ?
It has some charms ! 😉
