Thanks Denny. If you could only order one of those from the factory today.The Superior Pontiacs have a great look. :thumbsup:
As an aside question, would a blue beacon have been a common site in the sixties in some areas of the US on an ambulance? Not something we would have seen up here in Canada.

Tim different areas allow different colors - many volunteer firefighters are allowed to use blue and I believe that is now NFPA spec - in the sixties in our area most ambulances were run by Police Dept's so blue lighting was very common

now thats a car I could be persuaded to buy. love those 59 ponchos. and a low top to boot. great shot of why you don't want to get cheap and spend a few bucks more for a better gurney. I'm guessing if ferno has just put 4 crazy wheel on there 26-27-28 searies more backs would have been saved.

1967 Superior LWB Pontiac Landau Combination
This '67 Superior LWB Pontiac landau combination has been sitting in Norfolk, NE for years. Surprisingly enough, it is in far better condition that the photos make it out to be. Most of the rust is just surface and much of what you see is red primer under the white paint. The combination interior is 100% original, right down to its original stretcher bar and jump seats. I appologize for the lousy photos. It was a very bright day. This one needs to be saved soon!

the rarest of the rare. these double duty cars were more of the norm in our neck of the woods then straight hearses. and a lot of them landaus
In this case, a guy could get a matching set of cars - hearse, limousine(s), wagon, and sedan:

Ed,
I will let you know if the guy decides to sell. It is sitting at his Dad's place and Dad would love to see it gone. The Son has owned it for 20+ years and hasn't done anything to it other than replace the carpet in the rear. As I said, it is 100% complete!
Please scan the photo and re-post so we can actually see the car.

You are right on that one, Tony. Hause and a buddy of his had that car, and it was in very bad shape at one time. They did a "ground up" restoration on it.

I just came across this. The shot of the ambulance in the bottom picture(with the bullet lights and 'Scheafer' on the top) is from the movie, Tammy And The Doctor (1963), not from The Disorderly Orderly.
