I do like the wooden handle on the Ambassador. The grill is in amazing condition. 2nd Ambassador to pop up this summer.

I think fedex picked one up a couple of months ago unless it changed hands.

Well... to see them all three together like that is truly amazing sight. They all look to be in great condition too. Incredible collection to say the least. Way to go Mr. Harris92.

Great photos and nice looking Ambassador, @harris92 ! By chance you wouldn't have an early 70s small bowl tab yellow to pose it next to it, do you? Seems the early 70s yellows weren't as deep as the mid-late 70s yellows. Almost similar to an Ambassador, but not quite. Or better yet, pose as many yellows as you have in chronological order. Ambassador-'mid-late 70s Gourmet/Yachtsman. That would be cool to see.

On the left is a Patent Pending Yellow with rubber tread wheels (prob a '72). On the right is a small tab bowl yellow. I am guessing it is a '73.
The Ambassador is MUCH lighter. I even compared a Homer Simpson smokey joe. Much lighter than that too.

That is another stunning grouping. Love it! Would have been nice to have 78 Yellow together to compare colors with earlier yellows like Graig mentioned.
