At first glance it looks beyond salvation, but its actually not terrible if you ignore the rust and that rust hole where the antenna was. Looks like most the trim is there, and the interior, given the outside appearance actually looks decent.
I hope someone with the time and skills for this fixes it up. As long as it doesnt become an ecto.
How can you ignore that much rust! It has obviously been stored in, really wet, indoor storage. The condition of the steering wheel and dash pad tell us that. Only missing 1 original window.
If you guys have been watching the prices these cars are realizing at auction you will quickly see that this car is worth saving. Not just for its historical significance but for its monetary value. I hope it doesn't get ectofied.
But me I never liked the looks of a 59 any way and the miller was the ugglest of the lot.
It will be a great save, for sure, but the 59-early 60s Cadillac ambulances have such odd parts, it can be challenging to find them. The commercial chassis in those years have unique fenders and windshield, which I had to track down when I restored mine in 2004.
