Oldest Ambulance

Ok today I was cruisin down 20th and to my right I saw a 1987-91 Ford 1ton diesel ambulance pull next to me. I thought this was odd and must be some small Municipal truck but on the side it said some like Saskatoon Health Region or area I forget the exact wording but it was a Saskatoon ambulance and driving it were two guys looking like so I assume paramedics.

But that seems odd too me I never thought A region like Saskatoon would not be still using a old Ambulance, Anyone have a theory or knowledge?

Maybe they were health maintenance workers who wanted to get between jobs in a hurry....
Did it have all the regular ambulance lights, equipment still on it?
I can`t say I`ve seen any such ambulance driving around.

It belongs in your yard, not the storage yard.
Is it the panel or a car type?

I thought it was a B350 school bus, not an ambulance.
Am I wrong there?

Mebbe no, but most likely yes.

Wanta see some more?

How about the Wheeled Coach EMS, the Horton/Ford F Series, the Boardman Emergency, the Stratus/Ford, or the Advanced Life Support, the Southern Type 1. yadda yadda yadda.
All built on F350 Cab and Chassis.

Read all about it:

The American Ambulance ~ An Illustrated History ~ 1900-2002. Published by Iconografix (ISBN: 1-58388-081-X)

One needs a lot of refs if they wish to play on FTE.

I have several books on the Professional Cars, too.

Professional Cars, what y'all take your last ride in.
