I went to another local museum (Elkhorn Automobile Museum) today to pick up a vehicle they de-accessioned and transferred to our museum. It is a 1912 Canadian military ambulance which has been in storage since 1949. Where some could see a forlorn looking vehicle, I only see a gem. The spokes of the wheels are all solid, the lamps are all there, and most if not all the rear military woodwork is still there including two of the three bows still in place and the third in the back of the ambulance.

The engine is reported as siezed, so that may well be the biggest challenge, we'll see. Tomorrow I'll start cleaning out the back and see what all is in there. I am pretty sure I saw the original tarpaulin hiding in the back. The original rad and folding hood are all present, as is the front windshield frame and the top bows.

Enough talking, here are some photos.
