1969 Bonneville Ambulance I just picked up!
 
wyoming car, nice overall shape, going to drop in a 72 455/4 into it, get it road worthy, and go from there. no a/c, whuch is sort of a bummer for me.

Way cool....I have a nice 68 front bumper for that beast

dedsleds 07-19-2008 02:18 PM

68 is different than 69. thanks though. could use the rear bumper cover and a windshield for sure.

I like it.

Is the windsheild taller on that car than on a std production chassis? Some were.

Very cool!!!

That thing is cool! I'd hate to have to replace the glass for it though! Where would you even find it? From the pictures that one looks to be in real nice shape overall.:)


That one, and others I've seen, look like they were built from 4 doors rather than wagons. The 4 doors (and 2 doors!) were longer than the Bonnie wagons.

dancolkate 07-19-2008 04:09 PM

I keep going back to the pics. Have you hooked up 12 volts at night yet?

seventygto 07-19-2008 04:38 PM

That is an awsome Ambulance! Nice Score!

Andre 07-19-2008 05:23 PM

No a/c?? I guess in Wyoming it never gets hot enough to need a/c when transporting a patient?

Lets see some more pics of the interior and the various accessories. Did it come with a gurney?

Was this mod done by Superior?

CDN2PLS2 07-19-2008 07:28 PM

That's Cool !!

Thanks. i think they are all custom from the front clip back, using only wagon taillights and door handle/window cranks from pontiac. they nay have used the door skins or bottom part and built up the window parts.

What shape is your bumper in, is it for sale?

Excuse the hijack...LOL.

Awesome ambulance, I missed one when I was a fireman, should have taken it home! Great camper or ?

68,
I think the Bumper is nice. And it's complete to boot. Here's the thread. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Nice ride,

There is a perfect parts car sitting in Cedar Rapids, IA. I think it also needed a windshield. E-mail me at craig.cermak@civco.com if you want the info on it.

I would try the PCS for a windshield. I think Superior used the same windshields for all of their hearses and limos (Pontiac and Cadillac) and they should be the same from 65-70.

I have a 67 Bonneville Superior Seville Consort ambulance project and a 68 Bonneville hearse parts car. Both are stock wheel base.

If you want to convert to factory AC I have a 69 Bonnie 4dr headed to scrap soon. If you some and pull the dash it's yours.

Talk to you later.

Awesome find
 
Wow, nice find!! Congratulations! Very nice shape it is in as well. I wish you luck in the search for the windsheild and other goodies. Your local truck stop may have your comercial flashers.

Can't wait to see you light 'er up at night.

I also love your pic from "Two-Lane Blacktop". That Judge should have had as much, if no more, publicity as the '55.IMO
