OK, I’m guessing this was simply an unreleased set, but just to be sure, I
figured I’d post an all-too-familiar scan from the good ol’ 1978 LEGO catalog
(the Town layout) and ask everyone if they’ve ever seen this COOL-looking
Hospital set released anywhere at any time?? Was it designed for the catalog
pic but they later decided not to put it on the shelves? FALSE ADVERTISING!

Naturally I dug around the database but turned nothing up. It’s a set. I
mean, look at it. It’s got the same convertible-style car as the one in the
Police HQ set. There’s a neato rectangular sign (right on the bottom edge of
the pic) decorated with “HOSPITAL” on it. I don’t even collect Town sets but
it’s a mystery unsolved since I first saw the picture 25 years ago.
Ideas? Thoughts? Please... :o)
