Compilation ambulances Friday 13th

[@abedbush]

I like the 1973 Superior Cadillac 51" in the first scene. Although I'm not crazy about that star of life decal they placed over top of the chrome spear moulding on the driver door though! I believe this exact same ambulance was seen parked at some of the Rampart ER bay wide shots on EMERGENCY! That very sad looking 1976 Superior Pontiac was looking quite unwell, they didn't even bother to replace the burned out left rear tunnel.

The latter looks more Olds Cotner/Bevington. Oh well, real life with a burnt out bulb!

@@kbittorf335 I disagree, those are Pontiac tail lights so I'm 100% sure it's a mid 70s Superior Pontiac.

Hmm, I watched it again. I once had a 1974 Olds C/B that looked strikingly similar even the inside of the rear door detail. The ditch lights and chrome cross on the side were the same too.

@@kbittorf335 Superiors and Miller Meteors/Cotner Bevingtons were indeed somewhat similar in appearance. Only Superior built on the Pontiac chassis, as Cotner Bevington built (almost) exclusively on the Oldsmobile chassis. The chrome ambulance crosses were quite similar on both types, but only Superior had the upper and lower horizontal 'jet streak' design, while Miller Meteor/Cotner Bevington used less 'italic' styled chrome crosses with no horizontal upper and lower trim pieces. Additionally, Superiors had a more squared off look to their high-top ambulance bodies, while M-M and C/B featured more rounded styling on their all metal high-top ambulance bodies. Regarding the ditch lights, they were indeed similar across virtually all ambulance builders of the era, but there were some slight differences. But again, in my opinion the Pontiac station wagon tail lights on this rig are the dead giveaway. The Superior Pontiacs continued using the same tail lights that were introduced on Pontiac station wagons starting in 1971 while the Cotner Bevington Oldsmobiles continued to use the Regency 98 rear quarter panels, and tail lights.
