Animatronixx ◊ 2021-03-12 14:39	This is one of only 51 long wheelbase Buick professional cars of the Premier line that were built during the 1961 model year on the 4430 Buick LeSabre twoo-door sedan stripped chassis with Electra front end sheet metal and mechanicals - as opposed to the 84 standard wheelbase Flxette models for 1961. More precisely, it's the model FB63-61 Premier ambulance with 42" headroom, which was offered at $ 9408,-. By the optional two-tone paint, the dual spotlight/ rear view mirrors, the Beacon Ray roof light and the - also optional - whitewall tires, chances are quite high that the following factory picture by the Flxible Co. of Loudonville, Ohio, shows the exact car that was used in the movie:
