m-mman Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Looks like a sedan ambulance. 😉 Removable passenger side front seat and removable passenger side pillar to load a gurney. Typically they also had jump seats that were easily removed without tools. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-mman Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) They were popular with funeral homes as a multi purpose vehicle. They functioned as a limo/family car for a funeral and as a 'ambulance' to transfer people between hospitals or bring them home from a hospital (invalid care) after discharge in a vehicle that might not excite the neighbors. They would not have been used at an actual emergency. Edited December 7, 2019 by m-mman (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 seven passenger sedan, but not a limo. Limousines have division windows. Very interesting car in any case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Interesting lwb Chrysler. How about photos of the doors open in the various configurations so we call all see how they worked. I note the release hand on the B-pillar, does it stay attached to the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It was my understanding that in addition to being completely removable with both doors open, it could be left attached to the rear door by opening the front first then unlatching the rear door with B-pillar attached by moving the handle in a different direction. True or a myth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billety Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It would be a wild ride home from hospital if they forgot to strap the gurney down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrts Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 As a kid in central Illinois circa 1949, I distinctly remember lights and siren blaring on a Chrysler like this on its way to to our local hospital from one of the surrounding "farm towns". I would say that these LWB sedans did multi-tasks, including emergency service. Why do I remember seventy years ago like yesterday but I can't find the 9/16" socket that I used yesterday?

I once owned a '48 Windsor 4-door and learned quite a bit about MoPar vehicles, but I never learned about the Sedambulance. Thank you to all for this very interesting commentary.

You think your new "date" would get in that ? I'd rather have a Nash.............. Sure would be something at the local car shows. Especially if you took a young "candy striper" along.
