Hello. I'm currently restoring my 59 Mercury Memphian ambulance, and I need 2 propello rays and 2 spotlights with the Ford type of mounting brackets. Any help would be appreciated.
I need the free standing lights that mount on the front of the roof. The fenders already have the holes for the spotlight brackets, but the spotlights got stolen in storage. It used to have a rectangular light with a mirror on the back.Do you need free standing Propello Ray lights, or do you need just the light mechanism to install into a housing that is built into the car? The mounting brackets for the spotlights are cut into the tops of the fenders. They are Unity part number 131 & 131RH. Depending on the type of spotlight that you desire, I might be able to help you, since I have a large inventory of NOS (New Old Stock) obsolete spotlights.
I bought it 2 years ago and it's been sitting in storage while I finished some other projects. My plan is to restore it mechanically by the summer and enjoy it like that for a while before I paint it. I haven't decided whether to go back to the original two tone blue, or repaint it orange.
Orange wouldn't be appropriate for any ambulance in 1959.
Well, the Anadarko Fire Department obviously felt the color orange was appropriate for the car or they wouldn't have painted it that color.
It's definitely a darker orange, but it still has that paint job and it's orange. Old pictures aren't necessarily true to the exact colors.
