The service utilized this beautiful automobile as their main ambulance for transfers originating in the Burlington area to various hospitals in the greater Denver area.This ambulance provided dependable service from 1973-1981 at which time it was used as a trade-in on a new van ambulance. By the late 1970's, van ambulances were rapidly overtaking passenger-car ambulances in popularity as first response vehicles.This ambulance made a couple of different stops in it's storied life. After active service in Colorado, she was acquired by Professional Car Brokers in Sylmar, California. The company supplies professional vehicles to the southern California film industry.
