This from Mike Summa:

Hello,
Here are some old pictures of Garden Homes Fire Department units.  They are from the 1970s.  One is a Dodge ambulance and the other is a 1970s Ford (X-Alsip squad truck) of unknown specifications.  Question– in the 1970s, Dodge ambulances were everywhere.  Now they are a rarity.  What happened?
Enjoy,
Mike S.
