fordfpvman ◊ 2006-04-23 13:39	i think you'll find it is more like a cadillac '60 or '61
mrcadillac ◊ 2006-07-08 12:53	It is DENITELY a 1963 model (100% sure). It is definitely NOT from 1960 nor 1961. http://www.car-nection.com/yann/DBas_drm/63amb.jpg
mrcadillac ◊ 2006-07-08 13:03	Actually it is from 1963 or 1964 but "antp" can show only ONE year so he has elected to show "1963". In the scene where Gump is handed the football & told "Run Forest, Run!" by his teammate, look in the background; you'll see this car on the sideline, for a brief moment. Only the driver's side is shown, from the bumper to about mid door. ONLY the '63-64 cars look like this. Look at the "curves on the 1960 and 1961 cars. The featured ambulance is much more "angular". http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_prf/60SUPHR2.JPG ((1960)) http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_ima/61suprc.jpg ((1961))

frangacar ◊ 2008-07-28 08:07	Superior is the coach builder 100% (high top style) and for model of design in the rear side window starting by and oval for 1964 and by and point of arrow for 1963.
Animatronixx ◊ 2008-09-08 20:03	This looks to be a slightly modified Superior Royale Rescue 50 inch ambulance.
demetrie ◊ 2011-03-04 16:01	Sometimes I wonder, why would Cadillac make an ambulance out of a luxury car instead of Chevy having to build an ambulance out of a standard car? -- Last edit: 2011-03-04 16:01:37
antp ◊ 2011-03-04 16:06	They sold chassis on which other companies built special bodies. I guess the quality of the chassis was better for such special use. They did not start out from a full luxury sedan for that -- Last edit: 2011-03-04 16:06:45
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-03-04 17:20	Also engine size, to pull the weight. And I think it was more the size and strength of the chassis rather than the quality.
