From the Morning Journal News... Classics Draw Attention

One of the more unusual entries of the evening belonged to Ron and Barb Devies from Marlboro, Ohio. The couple was showing their 1964 Cadillac which doubled as both a hearse and ambulance. Ron, the Police Chief in Marlboro, worked as an EMT when he was younger and drove the same type of car.
"I have five other Cadillac ambulances," Devies said. "They are interesting cars that you don't see too much of. It's fun to have something that I drove when I was younger."
The vehicle came equipped with a siren and has all the supplies an ambulance would need under the floorboards in the rear. According to Devies many funeral homes prior to the 1970s also provided ambulance service. His car was owned decades ago by a funeral home in Logan, Ohio and, for a time, was also the township's only ambulance. Since purchasing it four years ago, Devies has loaned out his car to a couple of funerals of classic car enthusiasts.
"There were a couple of people who loved old cars and wanted to take their last ride in a classic," Devies said. "I can't blame them, they don't make cars like this any more."

I mentioned PCS many times and told him I had four other cars not all Cadillacs Reporters!

Sorry Ron, I wanted to say that we could see your pride, in the news article.
