1973 Cadillac ambulance

[@ericnelson7524]

Love the light setup on this beautiful rig!

[@jonsm114]

Outstanding....scrapped many of these machines...years ago when no one was interested in them.

[@cfol1382]

This brings me back to my childhood. Beautiful rig. Amazing how many lights that has.

[@davidweston6653]

I remember coming up to red light intersections with cars on either side of you and slowly roll out exposing that huge front to traffic, crossing your fingers . Was broadsided once right behind my door,that big heavy rig spinning 360 so we ended up facing the same way we were originally headed. Half an hour later we were running calls in another rig 🚑💨

[@stevesanderson8360]

Never seen a 70s ambulance with such an impressive light show. I suspect several add-ons. Nonetheless, a mean-looking unit.

[@bryanbenoit8055]

Thank you for your commitment to preservation!

[@GuyjKite]

The town i lived in as a boy in the 60s. The fire dept had red cadillac ambulances. Open cab fire trucks.

[@RIEH54]

Love all the lights

[@jamesburton7298]

Nice ambulance, I drove one almost like it. Same color, and style, except it was an Olds. Have a blessed day.

[@chuckhodges9227]

Beautiful classic ambulance! Love it!

[@549BR]

Definitely not enough flashing lights on this vehicle.

[@mikeserrano6449]

Looks awesome

[@ericmiller3708]

Imagine that light show cruising down the road in the dark!

[@lindathrall5133]

BEAUTIFUL WORK

[@fmbjogger]

Thanks, Greg. Siren works but the spotlights are out....working on them now !

[@robertallison5867]

Can you imagine the draw on the amps!

[@carsmartsmedia2324]

My father drove one exactly like this for Rhawnhurst-Busleton Ambulance in Philadelphia in the late-60's and early 70s.

[@ggolds5]

Absolutely gorgeous. Do you still have it and work on it?. Brings back a lot of memories with my first job as an EMT for G+L Ambulance Service in Farmington, CT. 1981, just when they started to end the Cadillac use law in CT. Love what you've done with this, and I LOVE those incredible lights!!!

[@moneylab2860]

Beautiful! Very similar to one we had with EMS in the 70's, except ours was white over red, and had a single rotating beacon on the roof. Is that a MARS light at the front center? Definitely helps clearing traffic, especially at night

[@stupullenchannel3525]

888 light

[@douglasnorby8385]

What my Grandfather drove in California..

[@Daltoncom]

what kind of amperage does all that pull?

[@dcformee123]

I remember when I was a little boy living in El Monte California this guy got stabbed and I lived in this apartment building and had the real narrow driveway and it's ambulance picked him up in the guy turned and took out the whole side of that ambulance and I could still remember looking down and watching him do it and taking out the Chrome door edge guard it was sad and putting a big dent in it.

[@Zorak1]

Where did you get I and how much was it

[@OnlyTheEd]

If possible, please portray any known history of this vehicle. Like: what city/service had this vehicle, and for how long. Thanks.

[@DodgeMan360]

Were all the lights on this original?

[@chuckhodges6150]

Awesome! Excellent!

[@lindathrall5133]

NOW THAT'S A FIRST AID GANGSTERS RIDE LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST AID GANGSTERS WHO RIDES LIKE THIS ONE ARE TALKIN ABOUT OWNING A GREAT STREET RIDE

[@localsheriff]

Impressive ambulance and light equipment! Any information on whether this unit came with all these beacons as new...? And could anyone help me identify the 'smaller' beacons directly above the driver's cabin?

[@aaronballeck3153]

Miller meteor

[@one-o-four889]

Miller Ful Vu lights

[@localsheriff]

@@one-o-four889 Thanx!👍

[@k0smon]

Those size of lights were originally made for aircraft.

[@allen480]

@@k0smon Yes, they look like aircraft anti-collision beacons.

[@gregneptune8741]

Beautiful car! Do the spotlights and siren work?

[@kimberlywertz3839]

Very nice.

[@marcbach5880]

Other than the lighting this looks very similar to the one I drove for Emergency Hospital in Buffalo NY in the late 1970's.

[@Lowrider2905]

this is so awesome!

[@rarevhsuploads4995]

Philadelphia never had car based ambulances? I thought that pre-1970s these were the only type of ambulance available on the USA market?

[@nkt1]

A quick search show plenty of pre-1970 panel van and truck-based ambulances. Car-based ambulances were faster, more comfortable over long distances and poor roads, and could serve as hearses, but these attributes weren’t required in large cities.

[@tommyc8333]

Beautiful rig. But you can't tell me that thing doesn't eat alternators.

[@ashraf4926]

Beautiful very nice awesome 🇺🇸😉

[@dcformee123]

Beautiful car you got there you really should try to find some white walls for it? Hankook sales White Walls for that car still and they won't stick you too much for the price of them like Coker tire.

[@MrIMBECILE1]

VERY NICE !!!

Is the roof on that fiberglass or metal?

[@evagabor5]

beautiful

[@astrobear5353]

the ambulance was small back in the days

[@SonnyGTA]

I could have bought a blue one (Ambicab) back in 1989. I was a dumb kid and passed on it. I regret it to this day.

[@douglasnorby4006]

What my dad drove when Emergency!came on Two rectangular lights and Siren in middle..had to drive from home to ambulance station//

[@cartman4885]

Very cool

[@gregneptune8741]

Is this vehicle for sale by any chance?

[@gregneptune8741]

How long have you owned the vehicle?

[@DanielDuthler]

Beautiful but too many lights, a bit crazy.

[@bolsonarotrump3405]

157-inch wheelbase. Dual siren.

[@dudeinatuxedo8835]

Guess what guys you can make one at home first you buy a station wagon then put a siren on top and a bed and then you have an ambulance

[@kevinsukdolak5007]

Nice

[@grzgoegorzfalkowskii4090]

Jak widać W niektórych krajach innych samochody pogotowia I co mu ładne

[@bigbadredsox]

Pretty sharp, but it need a big Q.

[@k0smon]

Qs suck massive amounts of electricity. B&M, Screaming Eagle mech sirens are still available..

[@williamfrankson9987]

It needs a new "oem" cadalic muffler.

[@lightupskechers488]

looks like a hearse

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

While others would go: makes me think of Ghostbusters...

[@zombiefulci3301]

As seen on Faces of Death

[@hello_its_me.]

Your siren doesn't work, what a pity.

[@cristiancadillacforlini7345]
