Sorry you are wrong. There were no 14' Bambi's. You are correct on the
Cruisette but that was followed by the 16' Bubble for 55-57 which was
followed by the 16' Bambi. The Bambi went I believe to 17" sometime
around '62. Bill Scott will probably speak to his as he is the Vintage
authority on models, sizes and years. The difference between the Bubble
and Bambi was the rear body shape. The Bambi had the same shape or form
at front and back while the Bubble tapered more. Of course the interior
features were changing very rapidly so every year saw improvements.
