Good luck finding one of these Chris. The Company is now out of business, and they didn't make too many of the 1/24th cars to begin with. I have a Carved Panel 1939 S&S Cadillac hearse, and it's a beauty!!!! When I was working at a hobby shop, we ordered two cars, one being the Carved Panel in my collection, and the other one was a Limo style hearse. Both were black, and they carried a very healthy price tag of around $300.00 each. I never ordered the ambulance or for that matter, any more hearses, and was thinking of spending my pay check on the Limo style hearse, when someone finally come in and bought it. Now I wish I'd have brought it home with me instead. At least I stay in touch with the guy who bought it, and if he ever decides to sell it, I should be #1 on the list to buy it. I don't remember them coming in any colors like the 1/18th cars, just black for the hearses and white for the ambulance. This was their first attempt at doing the 1/24th Pro Cars, and I don't think they sold real well due to the price of them, but they were up to Precision Miniatures high standards of detail, and very beautiful models. Mine even has a nice "silent siren" on the front bumper. Good luck finding one, and don't be surprised to see it priced at well over the original $300.00 and maybe even over a grand like some of their 1/43rd scale cars are going for these days. If I get a chance, I'll see if I can get a good picture of mine so I can add it here. After looking at the site you found the picture on, there is a list of the cars made, and the different colors they made each in. You can see them at the following link.
