Please join me in welcoming PCS life member Neal Parish our forums. Long time Society members will remember that Neal served as our very first webmaster, and is credited with creating our first website. He formery owned an outstanding 1959 Eureka Cadillac hightop ambulance.

Welcome Neal, we are honored to have you as a registered website member.
 
Welcome back, Neal! You did a great job as webmaster. I know you sold your 1959 Eureka, but are you planning another professional car endeavor? Please bring us up to date.
 
It must have been the dial up

Neal, your now old website (Does it still exist?) with the restoration of your 1959 Eureka set me off on my Pro-car quest in maybe the late 90s early 00s. Without knowing it, back when yahoo had so few websites they were listed by category, I was hooked by the pictures and descriptions of that ambulance, and although I don't have a 1959 Eureka, I've fallen for all pro-cars now.
 
Thanks for the welcome!

Sorry for the delay in responding, but it took a few hours after my original registration before I was actually allowed to post a message, and I'm away from my house visiting friends in Colorado.

Unfortunately, my old website has gone defunct, since my internet provider (AT&T, formerly SBC, formerly Pacific Bell) has dropped support for home pages. The site is somewhat available on the Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org/web/20080807125346/http://home.pacbell.net/naparish ), but it's a pain getting to the photos (although some of my original pix are available on the NY Times website at http://collectiblecars.nytimes.com/View_Listing.asp?ListingID=COL607253 ). The current owner has not yet set up a website for the ambulance, but some more recent pix of my ambulance as operated in Europe are available at http://www.cadillacclub.nl/ledenauto1.html (8 cars up from the bottom).

I did notice that my car (or a reasonable approximation) is used regularly in the forums -- John Royark uses a screenshot from The Simpsons episode called "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife" with "my" pre-restoration ambulance parked in in front of the Kwik-E-Mart as his avatar.

I am still interested in professional cars, and enjoy reading the magazine, but I don't think I'll actually own another one anytime in the near future. I just have too many other things going on in my life!

-- Neal
