As complete as it is, one of the most difficult things to find will be a correct alternator and bracket. I wonder if whomever pulled the engine saved those components? I'm guessing (hoping) they opted for an original generator when restoring their hearse.
 
I can't believe that both of the rear side door etched windows survived! Someone needs to save this one!
 
A well planned out car that deserves saving. I love the red and white scheme in the interior.
 
you read that list and it was used as a rescue rig as will as transport. makes you kind of wounder were it all went in the car. nice that the ambulance stuff is all there.
 
Please correct me, but would you not need another 61 for sheet metal ? Those fenders look pretty chewed up.
I am on the hunt to find more period information if possible.
 
I spoke with a friend who was in the ambulance business here in Calgary in 1961 and he has no memory of the car in southern Alberta back in the day. It has a safety inspection sticker on it from British Columbia from 1971 and suspect that is its true heritage. The western Canadian distributor for Miller Meteor was in Vancouver B.C.
If you want to see a sad example of "if only", go the Peter Adstens EMS Classics website and look at image 6269. Likely taken when it was first found over 25 years ago. Man, is only!

Why not post a link? It's easy:

I wonder how Mr. Adsten acquired all of these images? There are dozens (if not hundreds) of my photos on the site, not one of which he asked to use.

Personally, I will never link to one of his pages. As to how he got all these images, it doesn't take a leap of the imagination to figure it out.

I was being facetious. "Peter Adsten" (not his real name) is the main reason I started watermarking everything I post. You'll note that he watermarks everything he pirates.
