No, not another picture of my Studebaker Ambulet. This is a genuine, long-wheelbase, full ambulance. It's a '52 National Studebaker Commander.
This was the plant ambulance for their operation in South Bend, IN. The window signs say "Studebaker Corporation". I would guess this was a special request and probably a one-off build for National. Talk about unusual.
I'd seen this picture before, but this is the first time I've seen it large enough to see the window designs (which is the design National used) and the nameplates.
Posted by Studebaker club member Richard Quinn on the Studebaker forums, from the "Studebaker Spotlight", the employee magazine. Might have been nice if Henry had cleaned the tires before the publicity photo shoot...
Where is it now? According to the Stude forums, it languished at the Studebaker Proving Grounds until it was scrapped.
