AIDS Ambulance

I have that car. It was originally from AIDS Ambulance out of Whittier, California. AIDS was not a bad name for an ambulance company when they went into business in 1955---in the 1980s, not so much.


From the LA TIMES:

Ambulance Firm to Change Name : A.i.d.s. Acronym Proves to Be Bad for Business
November 14, 1985|CARMEN VALENCIA | Times Staff Writer

When Joan Woehrmann founded an ambulance company in Whittier in 1955, she looked for a name that would be easy to remember--especially in an emergency--and one that would represent her desire to help those in need of medical service.

She decided on A.i.d.s. Ambulance Co. The four-letter acronym, she said, stood for "attitude, integrity, dependability and service."

Little did she know that years later, the initials would stand for something else: acquired immune deficiency syndrome, a deadly disease that destroys the body's immune system.
