Ambulance at LAX - Circa late 1960's

Robert Shepard · Dec 11, 2009

The photo note states this picture dates to 1974; though the newest car in the picture is a 1969. The airliner is a 707, and I think TWA had already retired that model from their fleet by the mid 70's.

I'm guessing that Caddy's of the 63-64 era?

The ambulance looks to be a 1954 or 1955 Superior Cadillac hightop.

What ambulance are you looking at? I see a '64 Superior Cadillac in front of the terminal........

I'm looking at the same one you are, but I didn't study the taillights that well. Upon closer examination, you are correct, and I am incorrect... Hard to see detail on the small screen...

Looks like an International limousine in the upper left as well.
