From Martin Nowak:
Recently I did some ER time at Palos Hospital and stepped out to see Chicago Ridge new International Terrastar ambulance. At the time of this photo (Thursday night) it was in service for only two days. I also attached a photo of the former 6502 – 1996 Ford F-350/ Aurora Truck Type 1.
