Edsel ambulance.. thats bizarre

Found on http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/

Jim has nailed this ambulance on several perspectives;
What's interesting about this car is that it was made from a sedan, not a wagon, as most ambulances were. This was converted by the Memphian company. Other Edsel ambulances were made by Amblewagon, but they started life as wagons

Thanks Jim! I missed that roofline issue and would never have known anything about the conversion companies. It's way cool that you left this info in the comment section, my compliments and appreciation!

Clever Benz wagon collector has a rare bookend matched pair for car show displays, an ambulance and a hearse

I hope I'm not the only one to appreciate the humor of the owner and sign maker... I think it's pretty clever
