Nice looking car and the exterior looks pretty good.. wish they had posted some interior shots... combo car or ambulance?

I was thinking the same things. It sure looks like a straight, solid car, well worth the money and the time.
Heard back from the seller this morning and it appears there would be more work than was apparent from the pictures. Still a nice looking coach, though!
His response:
I'll take some interior pix today. the rocker panels and floors are really rusted, the frame is coated and no rust at all. It tuns. 5 maybe 6 years ago it wouldn't start, I thought it was the starter, took it off and it bench tested fine, the problem was most likely in the ignition. Starter is still off. Engine is really weak, needs a rebuild. 331 that came from a '53 convertible. some other parts from the 53 and a 58 eldo.

Although I hadn't heard back from my inquiry yet, the partition appears to have been removed in few images shown. I wouldn't assume given colors and what appear to be rear side door locks when viewing enlarged that it was a 3-way, even though there is no remnant of a visible partition.
Agreed, Attila!
