This 1960 Cadillac Commercial Chassis, fitted with a rare Superior high-top Rescuer ambulance coach, was last seen listed at $15,000 in Santa Rosa, California, before a best offer was accepted. Distinguished by its massive “Rescuer” configuration and orange exterior, this vehicle represents a significant piece of emergency service history, retaining most of its original ambulance-specific components including interior parts, exterior badging, and roof warning lights. While it is missing some beltline trim and the dash-mounted switchbox, the survival of the windshield, rear curved glass, and three of its four original etched side windows makes it a remarkably complete candidate for restoration.
The vehicle is currently a substantial project requiring an owner with significant time and resources, as it does not currently run, drive, or stop. The engine and transmission were removed from a 1960 donor car and ran approximately three years ago, but the carburetor is currently off, the steering column is stuck, and the front wheels are disconnected from the rack. Rust is the primary concern, with rotted floorboards and crunchy lower sheet metal, though the frame reportedly remains solid after a lifetime in California. Despite the rodent odor and missing radiator or air cleaner, the inclusion of a correct 1960 passenger car door for donor metal and a clean California title offers a viable path for preserving this unique survivor.
