2014 Ford E-450/Medtec. Replaces 1999 Road Rescue
This from Martin Nowak:
In September, Roberts Park bought this Ford F-350/Wheeled Coach to run as a second spare ambulance. It is lettered 3R2, since the current spare is 3R (2008 Ford F-450/Osage, former 308 then 31) The ambulance comes from Virginia and was purchase to be in service as a backup unit. Had only 32,000 miles when bought.
I’ve also attached a picture of A3R
Roberts Park recently sent Ambulance 32 to Osage for a rechassis. The 2009 Ford E-450/Osage got a new chassis that is a 2013 or 2014 Ford E-450/2009 Osage. The new chassis is missing the RP logos on the doors. I believe they will be added on soon. Last picture is of the old chassis
