One example of this I really liked is a multistory "hospital-bus" circa
1973. In a German promo catalog it's described in detail and referenced
as a creation that Maria, aged 5, built. In a US promo catalog, it's
described in detail as well, and referenced as a creation that James,
aged 7, built. (1) Actually, I believe Susan Williams built it. :-)

Eeeeeek!

I remember that bus. Until 2 minutes ago
I also actually believed that it had been built
by whoever it said on the UK catalogue and Lego had adopted it.

I feel soooo disillusioned... :)

Krankenwagen I guess technically DOES mean ambulance (literally:
"sick/sickness wagon") but it sure looked like a bus to me.
