This from Rick Moravecek
Chicago Fire Dept Amb 8 seen in Lombard at the Svengoolie Hearse club show. Amb is a 1970 Cadillac Amb with all the original equipment inside. This is like down memory lane.

There is also a newer fleetwood limo that was seen around in the muster circuit years ago that was supposed to be Commissioner Quinn’s

Fred thanks for the link, interesting stuff, even better photos than the ones shown here. Also the Quinn’s limo looks great, never knew the rig was demolished during the 1968 riots.

Check out the following website. Additional ambo photo’s there, and Comm. Quinn’s limo? I do recall 2 limo’s parked at Orleans St (SS-1) in the late ’70’s.

Dont believe this is an actual CFD ambulance. I think its a replica.
