A few more Pontiacs

'58 Superior - Veterans-Prince Ambulance, Winnipeg, Manitoba
'68 Superior Consort - Knoxville Raceway, Knoxville, IA
'69 Superior - Ringdahl Ambulance, Fergus Falls, MN. Besides running an ambulance service, John Ringdahl was also an ambulance distributor, and also did some of his own van conversions. He always had many interesting trades on his lot, and had a genuine interest in pro cars.

On the left in the third photo? It's a '58 Memphis DeSoto, like Blackie's '57 but green and different trim. I'll post a photo of it in the Mopars to keep this thread on the topic of Pontiacs.

Thank you so much for posting the picture of that Tracy, MN ambulance! My mom grew up in Tracy, and my grandparents still live there. The pastor of their church, Homer Dobson, used to drive this ambulance. Growing up, I never knew this until I got my EMT certification 6 years ago. Homer has long since retired from the church and the ambulance service. But, every time I see him I try to get a little more information about when he used to run calls. He said that he never lost a patient, but he did alot of fast driving! When Homer would talk about the Pontiac, I just had my imagination to go off of. Now I have a picture to look at! Thank you again, this made my month!

This is a Pontiac Ambulance that was at the Back to the Fifties car show at the
Minnesota State Fair Grounds last June. I don't know any history on the car, but maybe its owned by a PCS member.

66 Consort

Last I knew, that '66 Consort from F-M Ambulance still existed and was parked near my hometown of Detroit Lakes, MN. It has been sitting in the same outdoor location for over 20 years. I'll see if I can get some current pics next time I'm up that way.

Please see a follow up to Kurt's Tracy Ambulance comments in the "Classy Cadillacs" forum.
