This is an interesting pieceof history. Special ordered for the United States Air Force, it is 1 of only 9 manufactured. From the USAF it went to civil defense, then onto Weaverville, CA where I found it. In a time when most ambulances had 5 doors, this custom only had 3 making it a very rare find.
The body is sound with no signs of damage except a minor spot of rust on the front floor board. Bondo has never been used.My vision was a Woody Wagon, but plans changed and I have to abandon my design.Perfect for someone with a passion for custom vintage vehicles and the willingness to put in some time and effort on a project car. Either do a restoration or create a custom hot rod.
