The truck Action has is a box, the infamous 107. It is unusual becuase it has a single rear door opposed to doubles. I wish I had a pic but I don't.


Ambulances - Guest - 03-22-2007

Didn't a lot of the box ambulances in the Seattle area at one time also have a single door on the back? I know I saw pitures of a rig like that somewhere, and I'm almost sure it was from the Seattle area.

I was in Seattle 10 years ago and the SFD ambulances did not have side doors back then and from looking at the SFD website that tradition continues.

Chris, your probably right, I know it is Canadian, but Iam not sure which MFG.

if you guys are talking about the hatchback type rear doors it was crestline coach from saskatoon. they made a large number of them for the ontario ministry of health, it was a great concept but just never took off. i personally worked in them and the only think i didn't like was the large rear window that let nosey people look in.

there was also a company called medico based out of either illinois or indiana too that made hatch backs but they are no longer in business.[/quote]

The ambulance I saw was a side hinged side swing door.


Ambulances - Guest - 03-22-2007

The company I used to work for had one, made by Medico. Probably the worst design for a rear door I have ever seen.


Ambulances - Guest - 03-22-2007

The front of above-mentioned POS ambulance, right before she was put out of her misery.

Thought I might add a few, but I am afraid I dont take notes.


Ambulances - Pete(UK) - 03-22-2007

A few more from my travels.

<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Shrug' /> I know this is the strangest ambo in my collection and all I know about it is that is from the 50's at Bowie,MD.

It looks like an early VW...???

Collection of Warren Jenkins.
