Dave,

I think I know which preserved vehicle you mean. I have seen pictures of this Signal Corps-Ambulance and I think it belongs to a Belgian or French collector. I don't know if it is an original radio van and if it is fitted with radio equipment.

Do you know the modelingbrand "Bilek"? Bilek is a firm which produces some of the old Italeri kits. I have the 15cwt CMP and Dodge 6x6 from them. These kits are exacly the same as the Italeri sets, but a friend of mine recently bought a Dodge WC54 Signal van from Bilek!! This is the Italeri Ambulance, but a resin radio-antenna is provided and a different decal set!!
No interior though! My friend wants to fit a resin radio set from ADV/Azimut.
I'll ask him if he has any info on the existence of the real vehicle.

Alex
