Are you going to tow it home with the COE in the background? That would make it a heck of a deal.  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,781 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,781 | Originally posted by TooMany2count:  can't seem to get the link to work, even in cut & paste....joe | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 578 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 578 | COOLAMUNDO!

There are more cattle fed in Deaf Smith County, TX (Hereford is the county seat) than any other county in the U.S. Hereford smells awful.
Awesome find! I bet you will be the only guy cruising one of those around town!

If it went for anything close to the last bid, I'm really jealous!
Super find!

I don't even know if it has siren yet! Thanks for all your nice comments about the "stretch" . . . and I'm sure the good folks of Hereford Texas appreciate your civic promotional comments! Hahahahaha! Luckily the car is in NM now and up wind! I've got about 14 feet of space left going west on the open trailer back to Nebraska, if anyone wants a load brought west from New England!

They used to have two shiney white (vintage even then) stretch ambulances ( 'think they might have been buicks?) They don't build em like this ...anymore! hahahaha "Old Coes" .. up to my COE windshield now in SNOW! in Vermont :rolleyes: :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 122 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 122 | That is a very cool old workhorse indeed. You might check with the folks over at the Professional Car Society http://www.professionalcar.org/ for some assistance with the car's history. The ambulances I drove a few years ago were 70's Cadillac’s and later Ford E-150s, 250s and finally they figured out they needed 350s. Now, they are using E-450s - go figure. One of my dreams someday - long after I finish getting my old “stove bolt” back on the road - is to get me a 1976 Superior Cadillac ambulance to restore. However, I hear they are an expensive project because everything was custom made by the builder and requires a lot of fabrication work. So, we we’ll see. Anyway, congratulations on your new project! It looks like a lot of fun!
