Second one is a Wood Dale Ambassador.  I picked it up just north of San Diego about 4 years ago.  Traded it to Zavod shortly
thereafter.  Also, there is a NOS (supposedly) Ambassador  in the far West as well.

Congratulations Alex. The Ambassador owners club is a very small group. By my count that is the 7th Ambassador to surface in California since I have been a WKC member.  Wonder why so many found in California?  Was it the color that was attractive to Californians or was it that a Weber sales rep concentrated on selling the Ambassadors here in California?  Guess we'll never know.


Mine (62) found in Saratoga, California
@Harris (63 found by @fedex in Southern California ) *I believe you have two, the second one I'm not sure of it's origin
@1spacemanspiff (63)  found in Northern California
@crowderjd (64 found in Cathedral City, California - near Palm Springs)
@solidgoldstein (64)    (found in Northern California)

*The other two Ambassadors are still "in the wild" (both are 1964s).  I have seen photos of them posted on a Facebook Weber group site. Both are in Northern California, one is in a city close to Saratoga where I found my 62.
   
Not only is it caddywhompus, seems it has a very early "racing" triangle. (lol)

@solidgoldstein CONGRATS!  Welcome to the Ambassador club.  That should clean up nicely.  I agree with @Cellar2ful that the Cali connection with all of these is interesting.  As to the triangle, I'm pretty certain the outside one fell off.  My first avocado had a triangle where the weld on the largest triangle came loose, and once it popped off you couldn't even notice where the weld was.  I cant wait to see the cleanup, you'll really enjoy it.  The Ochre pops much more in person than it does in online pictures.

Very cool, looking forward to seeing the first cook on that beauty!

[solidgoldstein]

Throwing it out there in the world, as I am slowly beginning the restore on this beaut, I am in the need of two small tab bowl vents. If anybody had a couple in their boneyard or lying around their workshop, I would be interested. Happy to pay for them!

Congrats on the find. That crazing will look much better once the rust stains are removed.
