Heads Up: 1952 RCAF Cadillac ambulance - auction in BC, Canada

[derk derin]

Thought I would post this if anyone was interested in bidding?
I was there last weekend on holidays and had a good look at it. If it was closer to me I may have bid on it, lucky it’s too far away for me to haul home!
Good luck with the bidding.
If anybody wins it on MLU, let me know, I know where there’s a gurney for it!

The same auction site https://www.icollector.com/MIKE-HALL...ION_as84458_p3 lists:
2 lots of 5 9.00-20 military tires
a M3 halftrack
a M2 halftrack
a cab for M35 CDN
a M135CDN
several Nodwells
a Bedford TM 4-4
an Elvis Stillwort (their spellings...)
several early 40s cars/trucks



Yes, these do appear to be the "characters" from History Channel's show "Rust Valley Restorers"

I've seen half tracks in this condition restored to full working order. There are still NOS and repro parts - like complete hulls - available.

Not common, for sure. But besides the odd import, the British have trained in Alberta for a lot of decades now, and do dispose of some of their equipment here. It has resulted in a lot of vehicles like FV432s, Landrovers, Bedfords, ferrets, and a host of others showing up here and there.

The Cadillac ambulance apparently sold for $3,500.00.
Anybody on MLU buy it?
