Sleeping Beauty

I found this 57 resting comfortably out in the desert. Can anyone ID the coachwork ?
Cheers,Pat

Nice 54 olds taillights on the roof. Man those pics always makes me sick at how nice the sheetmetal is on that stuff laying around in those neck of the woods.
 
Adam's right. That is a 1957 Superior-Cadillac Rescuer ambulance. With a headroom height of 48" and officially designated as a Model 616, the Rescuer had a base MSRP of $9,652 and was the first of a long line of Superior ambulances to be fitted with fiberglass roof. So sayth McPherson's Superior book.
 
Greg,
A friend is trying to deal on this car...the owner has set his price fairly high.
Kenn,
I will ask next time I am there. As I indicated in the post above,you would have to want the car badly to pay the vendors price.

Thanks for the ID on the builder guys!
Cheers,Pat
 
No problem Pat. That thing is just neat and within a couple hundred miles of me. Thanks for giving us some neat pictures to drool over. :)
