Volvo's in The Ambulance collection by Editions Atlas

1/29/2017

Editions Atlas has just released a new model car collection called the 'Ambulance Collection'. It will feature 1:43 diecast models of various ambulance models. This new collection will feature among other a couple Volvo models. Editions Atlas will release this collection in the five following countries: Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands.
The first model in Scandinavia (SE, DK, NO & FI) will be a Volvo 145 Express Ambulance. The first model in the Netherlands will be the Volvo 260 Ambulance which many of you already know from the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas where is has been released as number fifty-six. You will find a short description as well as a short timeline for that specific model at the end of this article.
As usually for these collections which Editions Atlas are offering by subscription, the first three models will be rather cheap and each will come with a small gift. I don't know how ave no many models have already been foreseen and I have no clue how large this Ambulance Collection might become at the end. All 1:43 scale models are made out of diecast and are produced by Ixo for Editions Atlas.

This was the first Volvo ambulance of this type to be used in The Netherlands. It was purchased by the private local ambulance service Westerbaan in Dedemsvaart (NL) in full Swedish color including the black bonnet. The bonnet (hood) was later painted white. In 1986 it was sold to the Volvo-factory (later NedCar) in Born (NL) for their emergency service.
