Notes:
These were the 2002 Spring S Spree convention car.
SHS #00925 is listed in advertisements, but no road number was provided, and no proof has been found that it was actually produced.
The interesting historical note about these cars is the fact that the word "Refrigerator" is misspelled (missing the "G").
