We want bigger pictures!
C/B Oldsmobiles are always 
!
Any history on this one? We know the JFK transport car was a Pontiac, so we can rule that out, but I'm bound to think this one may have had an interesting life too.
www.coachbuilt.com and www.professionalcar.org if you haven't been there yet. Last time I visited the Professional Car Society's webpage it was slightly wonky to get around in, but these workhorses are just plain cool.

Yes I have the history, or at least most of it. The car was sold to Mr. Gordon Wisda of the Jessen-Wisda Funeral Home in Ainsworth, Nebraska new in 1964. In 1967 they sold the car to the City of Clay Center Nebraska who used it strictly as their ambulance. The car was listed as the oldest "in-service" ambulance in the State of Nebraska in 1994. The car was then sold at a ridiculously low sealed bid price to a collector and was owned by a couple of PCS members until 2009. It was then sold to an exporter who soon figured out that he did not want to pay to ship it to Brazil and sold it to me.
The car has 60,000 original miles on it and is virtually all original. I have correspondence from Clay Center Nebraska's last two surviving Squad members who state the car would run at 130 miles per hour and not miss a beat.
