Interesting points raised.
Mike...you obviously have some knowledge of the area. Mountain Home does have a small hospital but you're right that the trips were either local or into Boise over Interstate 84. The seller is getting me some contact names of the EMTs/Paramedics who worked on the rig in it's era so hopefully I'll be able to get a full history.
Richard...I noticed no loading lights as well. When I get the car I'll check to see if it did have them at one time. They're a fairly common Unity light so easily replaced. I have already acquired a set of Unity M1000? red/spot lights to replace the missing ones. As well, the 184's are not a matched pair, so possible the car had a single center mounted light and was "upgraded" by adding a second and mounting both at the front?
Paul...I'll get some better pictures of the interior posted when I get it. Yes...Formica floor instead of lino...not sure how common that was. At least I don't have to join the hunt for the elusive Colonial Red Brick.
As for siren, again I'll have to look at the roof when I get the car to see what may have been there. There's only a single dimmer switch so no mechanical siren probably. No indication of mounting between the tunnel lights so that only leaves the roof for the speakers. Again, I hope to get some pictures from when the car was in service...that'll answer many of the questions.
If all goes well I'll have the car home on Jan. 28th. And if you think Richard had lots of questions...just wait
Thank you all for you kind comments.
