Compare the roofline on this Ambulance and this Express: http://www.falck-grindsted.dk/volvo145a.jpg http://www.konditori100.se/garage/carmakes/bv/vo145exp.jpg -- Last edit: 2008-06-25 01:22:17

Note the flat dash and the wiper arm location when compared to a 1973-74 145 as shown here: Attached photo is of my former '73 145. edit also noticed that the seats have the wide breadloaf head restraints, instead of the narrower 1972-74 breadloaf head restraints. -- Last edit: 2009-11-30 17:59:05
