Combination or what??

Is this car a combination vehicle? I didn't see any 'Red Light' anywhere on or around this vehicle at all......would just a siren suffice if it were a combination? Looks like the siren is an 'afterthought' based on it's location too. :657:
 
It looks like it's an endload hearse that someone tried to make into a combination. The giveaway is that there are no attendant seats, and the rollers don't look to be the reversible rollers. It also doesn't have the small medical cabinet in the divider, though that's not necessarily on 100% of the combinations. The stretcher looks '80s vintage, and the oxygen tank is just on a removable rolling cart.

The siren (Model V, I think, someone help me out here) is a Federal but it's the smallest of their sirens, something used by volunteer firemen on their cars. If it were a real combination, it probably would have had a bigger siren, and probably under the hood.
 
All that add on ambulance stuff would have to go. As would the Pontiac "poverty caps". Need Pontiac full wheel covers and white walls.

I agree with Steve. This is an end loading hearse. The presence of a cot & bar would have been for removals only. It is a very nice looking car, but I would definitely get rid of the "ambulance" add-ons. I would also get rid of the colored headlights and go with the whitewall too. Just my opinion.

I agree, and I don't believe those poverty caps are the correct vintage either. True early 70's Pontiac hubcaps were actually quite simple, with a red Pontiac logoed medallion sort of thing on them.

While I know that Landaus could be ordered and configured as a combination from Superior, I believe they were quite rare.

Beautiful car though, and the blue lensed headlights look stunning even though wig wags wouldn't become popular until the early 80's and became the rage in the late 80's/early 90's.
