Yup, just up my alley. But....any idea what movie it was? I don't know what you're referring to. :confused2:

That's the hard part, Steve. I have no idea what the movie was. I just happened to be changing channels when I saw that cool ol' International running past. It happened pretty quickly. I just managed to get a glance at the VisiBar. It was a black and white movie, and the truck looked to be early to mid 60s....the older body style.
 
Very cool long wheelbase Chevy panel, it just reminded me of this one (1962 or '63?) I saw back in 2009 at Petaluma, CA:

As I recall it was a unit originally out of Oregon but looks like I forgot to snap a pic of the sign board to document it. :(

Here's an unusual one. This is a '68 (?) Springfield Travelall Interne.

But look at the very unusual door location and the blank panel between the door and the rear window. Never seen that before. The side door has the cross decal that would normally be in the rear doors' windows on other Springfields. And it looks like something is covering the rear quarter window from inside, probably a backboard. It was probably designed with the side door forward to accommodate that backboard mounting.

And boy, does it have a lot of lights. Beacon, Visibar, SolaRay (or PropelloRay), forward sealed-beam flashers high and low. And an electronic siren with 2 speakers.68SpgfldTAScrantonPA.jpg
