Talking 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Default 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
