Well, I got this 2 pictures in 2004 in Tucson, AZ, The only thing is that I don't know the model, they're from the WWII or Vietnam War, most likely the WWII.

The ambulance is a Dodge WC something, but sincew they were govermental issued its not easy to tell its from WW2, Korea, or Nam, they look the same.

I tried looking at the museum's webpage, but it's being redesigned, and the info about the vehicles is still missing.

If you wanna see Dodge ambulances in plenty ;-) A movie, and later a long running tv-serie. A twisted comedy taking place at a field hospital during the korea war.

Felipe, have you been visiting the Pim Air Museum? I used to be a volinteer there, when I lived in Tuscon and Sierra Vista.

The gun is of US manufacture, and I think is an early 1950s vintage 75mm anti-aircraft weapon. Other than that, I couldn't tell you.

Wish I could be more help.

I went 3 times to the PASM, 1 in 2002, 1 in 2003 and 1 in 2004, I used to live in Culiacan, Mexico, about 11 hours south by car, so I was very close.

Maybe you can help me with the ambulance.




If my plans go as I have planned, in 2008 I'll go to ERAU in Prescott, fairly close to Tucson (just like 3 hours, as opposed as now, about 4:30 by plane and maybe 15-20 by road, as I try to avoid American airports)

I believe that is a Dodge WC-54 Ambulance. It was used from about 1940, well into the 1960s by the US armed forces in one form or another. It was a very adaptable vehicle. It was also built in several other countires for their military.

This fits into WWII, Korea and Vietnam, as I suspected.

Thanks a lot.
