Rick Duffy
PCS Past President 2010 - 2012
Hi!
As most of you are aware, I am in the process of restoring the 1957
M-M "Classic" Cadillac ambulance, once owned by Dave McCamey.
I have decided to re-do the car as a Chicago Fire Department ambulance of the time. I have collected most everything I need to do this, with much help from some PCS members and a number of photos from the same folks.
The only picture I have of a "57 CFD ambulance is seen on the Northland Site Archive, showing what I believe to be the M-M "Paramount" model with lightning bolt trim.
I have checked with a number of folks, who have exhausted their resources to locate this trim... and it appears that I will likely have to reproduce it or go without, altogether.
If you know where I can find the trim, that would help! If you know a car that has the trim and where I can go and photograph/ measure it, with the owner's permission, I would be grateful.
I have the brochure, so I suspect I can have somebody reproduce it as close to correct as possible, but would really like to obtain or see personally, the "real deal!"
With 70 days left in my term and counting...
Thanks for your attention!
Rick
