YOU WILL BE BIDDING ON THIS REALLY NICE 1957 FORD AMBULANCE (AMBLEWAGON)-COUNTRY SEDAN STATION WAGON. IT WAS ONCE OWNED BY HARNISCHFEGER AND USED TO TRANSPORT INJURED EMPLOYEES TO A HOSPITAL. IT WAS PURCHASED BY A PRIVATE OWNER IN 1987 AND I PURCHASED IT IN 1988. WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE ODOMETER DID (STILL DOES NOT WORK) SO THE MILEAGE SHOWED 16,000 MILES AND I MAY HAVE PUT 6,000 ADDITIONAL MILES ON IT BUT IT DOES NOT REGISTER MILEAGE OR THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. I WAS TOLD IT IS A PLASTIC GEAR OF SOME SORT THAT MAY HAVE DISENGRATED.- NOT SURE. I HAD BODY WORK DONE ON, NEW EXHAUST, BATTERY, NEWER TIRES, DASH PAD REPLACED AND FRONT SEAT REUPHOLSTERED. IT HAS NOT RUN IN OVER 2 YEARS AND IS SITTING IN A STORAGE UNIT COLLECTING DUST. IT HAS TO BE PICKED UP (I WILL NOT SHIP) AND TRAILERED. THE RADIATOR IS NEW, ENGINE HAS HAD WORK DONE IT. I USED TO TAKE IT TO SHOWS AND AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING BUT THE ODOMETER WORKED FINE. THE BACK SEAT IT IN MINT (ALWAYS FACED DOWN) THE INTERIOR ROOF AND LEATHER INTERIOR ORIGINAL, THE STRETCHER ORIGINAL, THE TOP LIGHT ORIGINAL. IT WAS APPRAISED IN 2000 FOR $7,600.00. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT SO HE SAID THE VALUE IS BASED ON A COUNTRY SEDAN WAGON PLUS $600.00 FOR THE CONVERSION TO AN AMBULANCE. THE WIPERS ARE VACUUM OPERATED, IT HAS A WORKING SIREN AND THE BLUE LITE WORKS. THE ENGINE IS A 292-V8. I HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS-SEND EMAIL ADDRESS. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN WAUKESHA, WISCONSIN. THE INSIDE RADIO IS NOT THE ORGINAL, AND WHEN IT SITS OVER WINTER, THE SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION LEAK, SO IT MAY NEED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I NEED TO CLEAN OUT THE STORAGE UNIT. WHEN I HAD IT RESTORED, I MADE SURE BONDO WAS USED VERY LITTLE AND WHEN IT WAS APPRAISED THEY USED A MAGNET TO ENSURE METAL CONTENT. THE REAR TAILGATE IS FIBERGLASS (ORIGINAL), THE REST METAL. ALL OF THE WINDOWS WORK, LOCKS, WIPERS (WHEN IT WAS RUNNING), RADIO (TUBE TYPE), TINTED REAR WINDOWS. IT AT ONE TIME HAD SHADES THAT WORKED FROM THE BOTTOM AND PULLED UP, SOME OF THE BRACKETS ARE THERE, NO SHADES. I HAD IT REPAINTED BUT TO BE HONEST THE RED AND WHITE DID NOT SHINE LIKE I HAD HOPED. IT IS A NICE VEHICLE AND PERFECT TO BE USED IN A 4TH OF JULY PARADE (RED, WHITE, AND BLUE). EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS IF I CAN ANSWER AND MORE PICS. THANKS FOR VIEWING MY AUCTION SITE.
