its great to see the old adverts and how the finished production trucks always differed slightly in design

they look like gold plating just for the adverts,lots of manufacturers polished their trucks etc to make them stand out in the ads,i do like the gold plate though it would look great on a display set up.

those pros or classics as they call them in the other ad have diff base plates to the proper versions too,the area round the king pin is squared off and they look thin as hell

if you mean the one with the ridges underneath the baseplate then they were more like a prototype,you never saw them comercially for sale,the others with the deeper hanger cutout are very early too and also very very hard to find
