Cool, different.
Would that be the real colour? If so, I guess not all ambulances were/are red & white.
I know early fire trucks were not red.

I think it might be a coroner's wagon.

These two don't seem to be ambulance colours either. They talk a lot about military ambulances on the website.
I wonder if there is any military identification (serial#/ID #) on the ambulance for sale? You would probably be able to trace it's movements through military records.

It looks like these modern "crossover" vehicles are nothing new. That Pontiac, not to knock it, looks like a morph between a Pontiac & a bus.

I think Superior used to build a lot of ambulance bodies for those large commercial Pontiac chassis's. Yup, Pontiacs & Cadillacs.
