Looking for a 1958 Cadillac Superior Ambulance
Bayside Volunteer Ambulance Corps® has been at the heart of our community since 1955, answering the call whenever help was needed. As we prepare to mark our 70th anniversary this year, we’re reflecting on seven decades of service, compassion, and dedication and we want to bring a piece of our past back to life.
From our earliest days, each ambulance we put into service represented more than just a vehicle; it was a symbol of hope and rapid response. In 1958, we added the Cadillac Superior Ambulance to our fleet, a sleek, reliable rig that served our volunteers and patients admirably. Today, after nearly sixty years, these classic ambulances have become rare treasures. While models predating 1958 are almost impossible to locate, the 1958 Superior remains just within reach of discovery.
