1957 Pontiac Star Chief Ambulance <<< click here <<<

As 1957 Pontiacs go, it would be hard to find one more unique than Dennis Statz's eye-popping Star Chief ambulance. Not only is the car big and beautiful, it is a very low-mileage survivor, with a meager 13,500 ticks showing on the odometer. The car started out life as a Star Chief four-door sedan and was turned into an ambulance by Superior Coachworks. It was ordered by the Detroit Diesel Allison Division to be a company ambulance, but it rarely saw duty, and was eventually sold to an Indianapolis man in 1973 with only about 1,800 miles of use.
 
I agree.....cool story and great car!

Here are 2 pictures of a 1957 National Pontiac (courtesy of www.NorthlandPCS.com ). You can clearly see the differances between the two body builders.
