After languishing on the sidelines for the past 2 years, our 1969 Miller Meteor ambulance is alive and moving under its own power. The front end is completely rebuilt, and even has the typical shock absorber squeak. More about that later on in another thread. I have been driving it for the past 2 days, and have logged almost 100 miles so far. It is as tight as a drum without any rattles or squeaks, other than the one mentioned. It shifts smoothly and the engine is so quiet, you barely notice that it is running. This is a car that I found in Washington, and PCS Member Rick Franklin inspected for me. It has a remarkably sound body, and the doors open and close like it did when it was new. Yesterday, I got my first view of the underneath of the car, and was pleasantly surprised to see that there is no rust on the floor pans. There is only surface rust on the frame, that will be easy to treat and repaint. Unfortunately, the hot dry climate where it was in service did cause one problem for the car. The roof vent seal failed, and when it was stored outside in Washington, the wettest state in the union, the roof vent leaked and ruined the linoleum floor. The inside of the rear compartment is a paradox of extremes. The headliner is brittle from the dry heat, and the floor has de-laminated from the moisture. Both of these problems are going to be resolved as soon as possible. All of the seats and upholstery are in excellent condition as well as all the door panels. This is going to be one very sweet car when it is painted and brought back to its original condition. Today when driving the car back from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, a thought came to me... This is just like the ambulance that I drove back in 1969.
