Hi boys,
My compulsive shopping got me again! (Be thankful your not married to me! Lol ) This time I purchased a rusty vintage Ambulance. It's a 1973 Cotner-Bevington 54" hightop Ambulance on a Oldsmobile nintey eight commercial super chassis. Yes I speak Ambulance too not just lightbar lol! The ad was this vehicle's last hope before it would be sold for scrap and crushed! There was no way I was gonna allow such a beautiful vehicle who spent it's entire life assisting saving lives have that fate. It be such a waste. Anyways I am very happy with it and look forward to getting her running and restored. It currently has no engine or transmission I am on the search for a Oldsmobile Rocket 455 cu big block.
She is equipped with 7 tunnel lights and 2 scene/ditch lights. The lower tunnel lights are Mars 888 ' s (how awesome is that!!??) the top three are par 36, scene lights par 46 and rear lights par 46 too. There is one Federal Signal Power light 184 on top center. I will be adding two per side par 46 tunnel lights for side warning. If I'm lucky and find some Ful-vu lights I hope to add those to the corners.
The interior has been gutted of most of its ambulance stuff so I'm not sure if I will restore it to original or just convert it into my family station wagon. My plans are to paint it light blue metallic and white. Anyways here are some pics enjoy!
