This 1936 Ford V8 Ambulance, a personal gift by Mr. Edsel Ford, is one of the most interesting historic vehicles to come through the New England Auto Auction in a long time. Well documented with personal letters, this vehicle speaks not only to the generosity of the Ford family but to the adaptability and multiple uses of Ford’s vehicles.
“If it is consistent with the policy of the school, I would be very glad to present the school with this ambulance. Yours Truly, Edsel Ford”. These are the words that Mr. Ford chose to close his letter with the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, a well known preparatory school. Mr. Ford also comments in the letter that this Ambulance conversion is the option for any ambulance to be used on the Ford chassis. Throughout its life, this ambulance served the school extremely well and was well cared for. A rolling time capsule, this ambulance is 100% original with the exception of a cosmetic frame on exterior repaint in the 1990’s. To date, this vehicle has been with the same family since 1970. On the interior, the panels and interior accessories are as they were during use. The rolling stretcher, superior medical and first aid kits as well framed documents and history are included with the vehicle.
