I would LOVE to own a '61 Superior Pontiac high top ambulance!! I will watch the movie "The Disorderly Orderly" any day over "Ghost Busters"! '61 and '65 are my 2 favorite years for Pontiac in the '60s.
I think this rig screams for a mechanical siren between those 2 speakers! What do you guys think?

This Pontiac is near me and might be available. Not sure what year it is ...

1968

Very solid-looking little Consort!

Nice save Kurt...

I was wrong. The Pontiac squad cars and professional cars came with 15" wheels, which were unique to them. The 15" wheels were necessary to accommodate the HD front brake option. All other full-sized, "B-body", Pontiacs came with 14" wheels. I am assuming that these wheel covers would be nearly impossible to find. Fortunately, my ambulance still has all 4 of them.

Picked up a new "nose" for the '64 this week. Finding a straight one of these for any '60s Pontiac is tough! I really don't understand how all of these got dented.

Up, out of the dirt, and ready for the trip home! I took inventory and all missing moldings and trim, except the left rocker panel molding, are accounted for in the back. Last in-service was Comstock, NE, prior to being sold to the Lexington, NE race track in the late '70s. I believe that it was white over red originally.

..... and she came with her original Superior key!

 

[John ED Renstrom]

Now that is a find

 

[Kurt Arends]

I had not asked him about the key when I first stopped to check it out. I asked him about the keys this week. He said to "check just inside the zipper in the headliner. There should be a fancy key up there"!

I am thinking this pair of mirrors would look pretty sweet on this rig!

 

[Bill Marcy]

Nice key, very nice find!

 

[Kurt Arends]

Well, I finally got it home... after 5 months! Beautiful weekend and everything went great..... until I lost a wheel bearing on the trailer about 60 miles from home.

 

[John ED Renstrom]

Will be a nice car cleaned up

Hey Kurt, you should have dropped it off in NJ, at my house.
