I think it's edgy (= -Barnette) and along with the position of the tunnel lights and the Federal siren I believe this is a Superior ambulance rather than the Economy.

Animatronixx ◊ 2023-01-04 12:26	Yeah, is Economy Coach Co. of Memphis, Tennessee. Just for the records: Acme, Meteor and Eureka also built Pontiac ambulances back then, but I already ruled them out. Edit: So many coachbuilders... Which one did I miss? The National Body Manufacturing Co. of Knightstown, Indiana, and they bodied the ambulance in question! Tunnel lights match, siren matches, windows, decals and clearance lights also match. -- Last edit: 2023-01-10 21:52:28
