Okay guys, I'm currently in New Mexico. Phone reception is sporadic and internet...well, it sucks.
The buyer on this ambulance fell through - so it is available. After seeing it firsthand, I can say that the rockers need replacing and both front edges of the rear wheelwells needs patches. Rest of the ambulance (floors, sills, doors, etc.) are solid.
Stainless rocker molding are head on by lag screws.
Looks like landau bars were originally mounted.
It is wearing a crappy white paint job that was done prior to landing here in the early '70s. The aluminum bases of the roof lights are even painted. I can find evidence of where Cadillac script and lower quarter spear molding used to be, but not traditional MM body molding.
Came out of Cuba - a city in NM about 100 miles away.
Items missing: headlight nacelle, carburetor, taillight assembly, rear bumper guards.
The ambulance is $2500 minus the steering column, as the owner wants to keep it for another car. My thought was to grab a complete steering column from another '58 in TX before driving 900+ miles, which I did. Add $300, bringing the total to $2800 to keep the MM intact as it sits and I'll leave my column here for the owner. $2500 price has already been discounted $500 as part of a package deal including the coach I bought.
PM/email and I'll keep checking my phone as service allows.
