Definately a good cause to donate to.
I hope that we get to see the finished pictures when it is done.

We will do better than that. We will bring the ambulance to some PCS events. We are pretty proud of the old girl.

The Ambulance and the Steam Pumper both are VERY COOL !!!
find the name signed to the back under side was nice. did I miss who the builder was or is that part of the Hx not known. i have a picture of a paddy wagon that is a similar body. I would love to see this one at a meet.
It was built in Petrolia Ontario by the Petrolia Wagon Company in 1908. It also worked in Petrolia in the oil fields at the time. The one thing that was missing when we started the restoration was the coach lights. If anyone has a lead on some lights that resemble the original 1908 ones, we would love to know.
