Great news, the 1927 Packard ambulance built for the Detroit Fire Department has, at long last, been restored! More to follow.

Would be interesting to know if donor was in any way part of Packard Motor car co.
They did. Red and maroon appears to be the color scheme of DFD in that era. I know I saw some parts that had traces of the original paint. And the DFD historic engine is in the same colors.Got to wonder (WHY) they wouldn't replicate the same color scheme, striping and graphics when restoring such a historic Ambulance?? MM
