My wife and I went to the Dark Shadows movie tonight, and there were a few ambulances in it! The most notable was a white and light blue Caddy, it showed on the screen for a brief moment. I think it was a late 60's Rescuer. There was a van ambulance in the same scene. Later in the movie there was a sharp Ford panel truck ambulance that I think was from the 50's. Not a bad movie if you like the Tim Burton/Johny Depp thing. Lots of great cars from the 60's and pretty girls as well.

I have plans on seeing it on Sat. Love Burton Depp movies, and 60s cars and girls a defanite bonus. Now that I know there is an ambulance I will be looking for it and try to identify it!
 
I forgot to mention in my first post that as an added bonus there are also some neat vintage police cars and fire engines in the film.

The ambulance is a '68-ish S/P hightop with tunnels instead of bullets. The panel truck was a '58-ish white Ford that was likely cobbled up for the scene. Neither rig is seen from the front.

The movie? Two hours of my life that I'll never get back.
 
The sedan ambulance is in a scene at the construction site the day after Barnibus is released from his coffin.

The white police car was rather nondescript, but the other two appear to be collector owned LAPD and SFPD clones. The scene took place in 1972.

I wish they would have shown the Superior Pontiac from the front, and used it more, like the panel ambulance, of course they showed that a few times and longer shots.
Not the best Burton/Depp movie, but not the worse either. Thought it was good, but could have waited for it to come on video.
 
just seen the movie last night, I was like did you see that ambulance to my wife, and did you see that??? she just chuckled and rolled her eyes. It was a fun movie to see.
