1968 or later Ford Econoline.

Got a shot of the front end, or the passenger side doors?

Ford sold both the Econoline & Club Wagon as a base for the Ambulance manufacturers. This particular model is a Club Wagon due to a few reasons. The chrome around the windows & rear doors (the light is reflecting off) only came on the Club Wagon. The chrome on the tail light bezels was optional on the Econoline.

Not sure why some ambulance manufacturers ordered the Club Wagon over the Econoline? Maybe it boiled down to preference? I mean mechanically they are the same van.

Psychological reasons played an important role: Patients were still mainly used to Cadillac or Pontiac ambulances back in the day. Various ambulance services (and manufacturers) tried to give their vanbulances - obvious utility vehicles - the appearance of something that was definitely meant to be carrying people rather than cargo. A bit more passenger car-like styling can subtly improve the patient's confidence in the people surrounding and taking care of him in a situation he most likely wouldn't have chosen himself.
