Ford, Lincoln, & Mercury Pro-Cars

One of my favorites, a 1967 Abbott & Hast Mercury called the Danny Thomas Travel Luggage Car. Don't ask me why....

Adam, what's that boxy thing behind the '67 Colony Park conversion? Looks like a vending machine or voting booth I love '67 Mercurys!

Being that it was built as a "Travel Luggage Car" I would assume the large boxy thing is a rolling wardrobe closet, sweaters and such to the right side and slacks and suits to the right. The flat ferno car was most likely used for suitcases.

And a 65 LTD Andrew Hotten conversion.....now residing across the Atlantic. This one was on eBay a few years ago.

Not sure if this one counts or not, but I really like it. 1963 Ford F-100 Ambulance. Not positive, but it looks like it may have ben built off of the unibody F-100, whitch were built in 61-63.

according to our rules that one fits. if falls into the light truck category like the suburbans. one ton would be to heavy and 3/4 is a question but 1/2 ton is in.

My late brother Russ would've really enjoyed seeing the picture of the '65 LTD Andrew Hotten converstion. That sure is a beauty.

That F100 truck ambulance is Australian.


This website has more pictures of that unit, along with some other Fords:

I guess I missed this thread somewhere. Here are a few pics of my step-father's 1953 Ford Courier service car. No coach builder, originally modified by the funeral home that bought it new.

I think everyone is right. To me...and my eyes are not wonderful....it looks like slacks hanging on the left and jackets on the right. It looks like its a non folding gurney attached to the one side. So, you hang you clothes in it and then lay it down, slide it in and use a cot bar to hold your wardrobe in place. Maybe?
