I don't know, I think 384 stands up pretty well. Sure, it doesn't have
seats, and perhaps is a bit short for minifigs, so it's not perfect, but
Steve Barile's looks nice on the PNLTC mall layout (I haven't heard
anyone comment on the fact that the vehicles are all correctly on the
left side of the road though...)
It would need some modifications:
- red adventurers wheels instead of the old wheels
- 1x1 brick w/side stud ("headlight") instead of 1x1x1 window, could
have trans-yellow 1x1 plates also
- base built from regular plates (would probably have to be double thick
- might have to have different windows
It would be cool if it came with alternate instructions to make it a bit
taller so minifigs and seats would fit in better.
