1936 Buick Special Sedan 'Baltimore Fire Chief'

CSV10
1959 Chevrolet Wagon
'Fire Chief' (2-Tone)

The Imperial may seem an unusual choice for an ambulance, but other luxury makes such as Packard and Cadillac were commonly used. Chrysler offered the Crown Imperial in limited long wheelbase form which made the ideal platform for this emergency vehicle.

The Junior version of the Packard Henney was frequently used in smaller towns where dual purpose usage was common.

Fire departments usually had a car or two in their fleets and the Saratoga is a typical example of a Fire chief's vehicle.

Henney enjoyed a long association with Packard, building ambulances and hearses. The Junior was the smallest version built by the company.

Studebaker offered an official 'Ambulette' version of its Conestoga wagon when the model was launched in 1954. Often used by hospital departments in provicial towns in the mid 1950's.

The ford F series was adapted for most uses during its lifetime. As a fire truck it was ideally suited for urban duties when dealing with smaller fires where access could be a problem.
