That's the International replacement for the (sadly) now-discontinued GM 4500 and 5500 series chassis. It's a viable alternative for those who want something between the E450/F450 and full-size International 4300 series chassis.

They're awesome... and $20k less than the 4300 chassis.

It's going to be a great platform for ambulances.

There is a Squad here in NJ that runs lime green. I will post pic the next time I run a ALS call with them.

I love that body style. Thats a really cool truck, especially with the big block 454 in it.

Quebec provincial ambulances:

Heh, Paramedic, what can I say! Quebec regulation on ambulance base and colors was voted in march 1976, all ambulances should be van based, yellow colored with reflective blue letterings and stripes. That's why we dont have a lot of "pickup-front" ambulances in the province.

Funny fact, since the regulation passed in 1976, there was a lot of old ambulances running at that time so it was common before 1978-79 to see a Cadillac based ambulance ... yellow.

Got some pictures today. This is a Volunteer squad that runs out of western Monmouth County in Roosevelt N.J. This rig is Roosevelt 41-57

I love the Montreal rigs!! I was able to look through one down here in Albany where the crew stopped at a local mall on their way back home from doing a transport down here. I think Urgences-Sante is Demers biggest customer.

It's not all green, but this is what we are using from now on as the Fords are replaced. I really like them. They are a Demers product as well.

I have to say I think I like the true fluorescent green color. It stands out a mile away and doesn't look chalky like the yellowish colors that most airport trucks are painted. I think the original post if my favorite of the sampling.

Have to say though, I find the new International chasis fugly. Rest of the truck looked good though lol.

Queens Hatzolah uses all Lime Green Ambulances.

I have to agree with both Bigassfireman and FireEMSPolice on this Lime Green thing... While the originator of this thread, firedude, and also Paramedic do get my vote for the "Limest of Green" machines here (if "limest" is even a word), most in central Ohio still refer to this mix of yellowish / green paint on any emergency vehicle as Lime Green.

In Delaware County, Ohio, BST&G Fire Department is still all-lime-green as far as I know while Delaware County EMS is transitioning their yellow / lime green Medics as cited by FireEMSPolice's pictures here - Nice photos! Of course, I'm still wondering if DFD has retired non-red engines 7 or 8? Apparently, Tri-Twp FD used one of them for a while. Any info on these? I also have to mention Norwich TWP FD (Franklin County, OH) and their yellow-ish lime green vehicles too. They're very impressive, and the fact that they have Sutphen stamp on 'em is a plus in my book - Just a "central Ohio thing" like our Ohio State Buckeyes!

That Delaware County EMA vehicle is a HazMat response vehicle. Its kept in a parking lot next to the Hayes building on Sandusky St

Are these DACC engines the ones I used to see as a kid back in the late 70's / early 80's? Wow! Seems to me that somebody around here also used white paint at the time.

Could have been. They are old engines.
