Spotted this week at the Texas EMS Conference in Austin by one of my employees. Sign says it belongs to Emergency Ministries, courtesy of Steve and Debra Diamond, MetroCare, Abiline, Texas. Steve was a well known ambulance operator/collector in southeast Texas for a long time as most of you know. Enjoy.

I don't know about the rest of you, but it's hard to beat the good looks of a C/B-Olds of that era. THX for sharing! MM

Originally from NJ (burgundy and silver), then to IL (lime yellow), then to Steve (white), then donated to Texas DSHS/EMS, given back to Steve, and then donated to this organization.
I've been to the Texas EMS Conference a few times over the years and can say it's one of the best (and biggest) in the country. The last time I attended, there were around 40 vehicles and 4 helicopters on display inside.

Looks real nice! Someone spent a fortune restoring it, I am sure.
When it was originally in New Jersey, where did it serve?
