mrcadillac 2006-04-28 21:53	The year is right, Ddey65, and your guess as to coach builder probably is correct too, although S&S models from the Eureka Co. also could match the style of this movie car. BTW, Superior only made the 51" Model 616 Rescuer ambulance (like this one) to special order; as such, no two units were exactly alike. The large, Federal Q2B siren on this movie car was optional and cost $205. Rare vehicle !

Then I pity anyone who ever scrapped one, or lost one in an accident or disaster. -- Last edit: 2006-05-31 17:14:02
