I think I just found my new dream car that 55 Eureka!!!!!I would have better luck finding Jimmy Hoffa's body first before find one of these.
Here are two cars I used to own. The '59 Classic Limousine combination, originally from Kansas, was purchased in 1976 from Davidson's in Webbers Falls. The '70 Royale Limousine combination was old Central 55; I got her in 1978. I have no idea where these girls are now.
I wish I had owned a 35MM SLR camera long before I did!

1947 Caddy
1947 Cadillac Hess & Eisenhart, Milwaukee Fire Department. Picture was taken last week as it is being readied for the trip home from Dallas, Tx,
It's all original with 19,000 miles.

Close. This car has been repainted twice. It was originally white over red with a Mars FL-8 on the roof (the mounting base is still there) and a siren behind the grille.
Is she going back to the Milwaukee FD?
Here is one of our local cars. The description says 1960 but the car is a '61. Perhaps the photo was taken in late '60.

I knew I had this somewhere! She was purchased by the Milwaukee Fire Bell Club (buff group) and donated to the MFD. Here is an enlargement from a small photo:

Of course I have no idea, but here's an enlargement just for you. What a beauty!:

I've titled this photo "Beauty And The Beast."
Estell F.H. (Shirley, IN)
1974 Crown Sovereign Landaulet combination
I remember being greeted at the front door by a big, friendly collie. This firm was sold in 1996 and is long out of the ambulance business. It doesn't show well in the photo, but this car had a light tan vinyl top.

Steve, the Caddy is going to the museum. hopefully they will repaint it back original. It's a neat looking car for it's age.
Note the unusual combination of flashers and Mars 888s in the front tunnels:

This car, original owner unknown, had siren speakers added that came from an M-M or C/B. Note the four front tunnels as well as the "auxiliary cooling system" on the hood:

Any idea where this (Eastern all white one) car or the 75-76 Cadillac (pro car maybe?) next to it are now? Actually, any idea where any of these old pro cars are in any condition? A farm somewhere... any more clues? I'm always looking for leads, no matter how bad the condition.
I have no idea where any of these girls are today:
Eastern A.S. (Lincoln, NE)
1974 S/C 54" (one of twins, likely from IA)
1976 S/C 54" (ex-Central, Tulsa)

Over Kill
The photo of the Caddy ambulance yellow with blue trim, talk about over kill. That lightbar sure did it and made it look cheap in my opinion.

The owner added the Twinsonic just to add a little 'bling' to it.
Personally, I think a couple of CP 50's and a Q2 would have looked better.

1972 Lifeliner - Originally from ?, then to CO, then traded to Summers; I seem to remember it was exported to Mexico from there. This car was on the lot when I picked up my '60 Volunteer. This is the only Wayne product I've seen with triple Par 46 flashers on the sides.
