Appreciate correction. Owner stated ID tag was on firewall. Although he couldn't recall what it read, he thought it was not same as ambulance.
I wouldn't know differently. :snow2_smi:

something strand about the last one. looks like is has the 74 tail lights. bet some one put a nose off a 75 on the 74 body. me I would love to have one the other way I like that 74 nose and hate the taillights. vice versa for the 75
My money's on '75 taillights; what might be confusing the view is part of the crowd behind the car. Note that the rear profile of the fender is slightly different than that of the '74.

71 to 75 used the same fender with cornering lamp and some side marker differences. you could pull the nose off any of them and put it on the other. what is lacking is the long metal housing off the quarter I see chrome on it you would not see that on the 75. but the angle is so sharp all one can really say is it's a 75 nose and something strange on the back side. I'll take it either way if given half a chance. love those CB's

Hey Ron, it's upside down! 
Here is the same car, as seen east of Holdredge, NE in 1996.

Freshly emailed shots of a '60 C/B combination in a private collection.
Certainly looks like a solid restoration candidate. Hope if the owner isn't interested in doing so it'll pass to someone who will.

You gotta love the sculpturing of the sheet metal below and around the talilamps on that 1960 Cotner/Bevington. Now....that's artistry in metal...or fiberglass - whatever.

Absolutely, what an interesting modification, incorporating factory tailights and bumper into an Olds pro-car back end. Comet-C/B also had a neat tail-fin to bumper transition in the '59 model year, although not quite as unique and eye-catching as the '60.
