Car belongs to and is sitting on Lew Lazarus's property, who has someone new in MI representing his cars. The rest of his overpriced turdboxes including several more procars can be viewed on haggleme.com.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out Attila. LL is finding new ways to try to rip people off now. There's no way I would "haggle him". Geez, even looking at the pictures has made me itchy!

Yes, there were some built that way in the early '70's. They were built for funeral homes that provided ambulance service, but they were built as combinations because, as EMS was developing and transitioning to truck ambulances, there was a concern that a funeral home might not have been able to sell or trade in a low-top ambulance by the mid-70's - nobody would want it or be able to use it. But if it was built as a combination, the "ambulance" could later be sold to be used just as a hearse.

I've only seen one (now two) M-M combinations with permanent ambulance cabinets. The other was a blue 1965 Paramount in a Tennessee salvage yard many years ago.

M-M offered removable cabinets, that mounted in front of the partition, as an option on combinations in the late 1960s.
