Been thinking a lot about this one. With more space here, the money to do it with, and no threat of "impending doom" hanging over my head this could be a dandy little project as a running mate to the '64.
Back in the mid/late 50's and early 60's a lot of fire departments in northern Ohio ran what they called "Resuscitator Squads" or "Inhalator Squads'. Usually a Ford, Chevy, Dodge or International" panel van. Carried a resuscitator, some very basic first-aid gear, and manned by a couple firemen. They would respond on heart attack and difficulty breathing calls and "hold the fort" pending the arrival of the local funeral home ambulance. Later in the 60's they were replaced be station wagons, some of which carried folding stretchers.
One could do this car up as one of those and really have a hot little pair of cars.
I'm working on a way to get Barb to think this is her idea. Pulled that off with the garage addition a couple years ago, maybe I can do it again. Hold a positive thought for me guys (and gals)!!!!
