Ambulance/Hearse


This classic Cadillac ambulance/hearse was the band rig for the Paradons. It was purchased from the City of Kamiah by Joe and Bob and was used for several years to carry all of the band equipment. Originally painted gray and black with red crosses on the doors, it was decided that a repaint was in order. After a couple of weekends of sanding it was sprayed a bright yellow - hard to miss, eh? Above the driver's compartment there was a zipper in the headliner concealing a shelf that would hold a couple of cases of "beverages". In the back, a compartment where medical supplies originally were kept would hold another two cases of "beverages". There was talk of a hole underneath the jump seats through which items magically disappeared. There are many memories, maybe we will share some of those at a future time.
