Early 60s Weber Ambassador
« on: July 20, 2016, 07:34:07 PM »
Saw this online the other day listed as a yellow Weber.  The color is actually Ochre sort of the same shade of yellow as the Homer Simpson grill.  Big Thanks to @harris92  for all the info.













Didn't (couldn't) get any back story because the seller was very challenged with the English language.  I did understand though that it was in his papa garage for years.  Thanks for looking.

Ugh, triangle is upside down and it has period incorrect wheels.
WORTHLESS. I'll give you 20 bucks for it.

Just messing with you.
This, lady and gentlemen, appears to be history in the making.

Wow. That is an epic find. My holy grail of grills. I wonder how many years that color was made. The photo in one of the old brochures shows it was made with a MLH as well.

Congratulations!!!!!

Photos need to go in the grill gallery for sure.
