It’s a nice looking ambul. as far as body style and I’m sure you can see the lights from 20 miles away, but that paint scheme is U-G-L-Y. Of course when you’re a patient inside you don’t care about the paint job, but I’m just saying that there were better choices as far as aesthetics goes.

I did my paramedic ride time there in 1985 with some amazing medics and some phenomenal firemen. It was a great place to get the experience.

I guess you like abstract art? That is what they call, beauty in the eye of the beholder… Growing up in that town and having family still there, they used to have a dept that was envied by others. Unfortunately, town mismanagement has impacted public services. I agree 90k is worth saving for the tax payers hopefully they will have working equipment and reduce the breakdowns they had not so long ago where there was one operating ambulance.

what is so awful about it is more eye catching then chicago orland pk highland elmhurst palatine northlake and the list goes on and as for the font and so on not matching the other rigs who cares bottom line is it has saved the tax payers a lot of money it was about 90 000 i am fine with it it is no palm beach gardens florida flourescent green ambo or mt horeb wi jet black ambo but is an ambulance right

I prefer the old scheme as well with the red and black top. The white ambulance could work unfortunately, the font and lettering color do not match the rigs. 🙁

They should have stuck with the old scheme. This is awful looking.
