Geez okay okay... you guys won't even let me get a set of mags on it!
It's a 1966 Cadillac Superior 51" hightop "Royale Rescue" ambulance. One of my maintenance techs at work spotted it at a show in Fremont, Ohio. He took pictures & I was texting him telling him what it was. He talked to the owner & the owner knew of me from trolling this site for years... so it ended up I wanted it worse than he did, after some negotiations it was bought on the spot this morning. Finally home now & man it drives super! All the lights work & wait till you see the big "Q" siren under the hood, it has a chrome base & brass grill! (Why would they hide that, it belongs on the roof) it's on a foot switch & coasts forever (yes it has a siren brake but what fun is that?!?!)
Never saw one of these with suicide doors until this one. Examples of others found online so far have standard doors but there's a lot to learn about this thing. By the way the owner has 4 other coaches & is parting out a 1970 M-M and also has a bunch of parts from other coaches stashed including sets of jump seats... Send me a PM and i'll give you his email if you need parts.

Damn son! So it drives super or superior? Guess that puts the big drum brakes on a Canadian coach. Hearty congrats Dwayne. What wheels do you have in mind? I can Photoshop tests...
We know what you didn't score today: a haircut.

As for the haircut, spent enough cash for the day so the barber shop got passed up again (always find an excuse for that)

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, glad it's well received. Going to be a really fun machine. Off to the muffler shop this week for dual exhaust, something snarly this time the Flowmasters on the S&S are somewhat disappointing sound-wise.

Here's a shot with the wheels & tires off the S&S Victoria for your Photochop Atti, had to wait most of the day for it to quit raining and now it's pouring again! Thought they'd be closer to the fender skirts but there's a good bit of room actually.
