Citation :: 1965 TO 72 OLDSMOBILE HEARSE AND AMBULANCE TRIBUTE. COTNER BEVINGTON USED OLDS 98 CHASSIS FOR HEARSE AND AMBULANCES FROM 1959 TO 1975.

The 1973 EMS Systems Act - passed in 1974, implemented four years later in 1978 - required that communities receiving federal funds for their programs had ambulances that met new federal specifications. Three chassis styles meet the criteria and are still in use today: Type I uses a small truck body with a modular compartment, Type II has a van body with a raised roof and Type III has van chassis with a modular compartment. Passenger-based vehicles were purposely excluded from legislation and the last American-made automobile-based ambulance was built in 1978. However a handful of automobile-based ambulances are still made in Europe using Mercedes E-Class and Volvo S-60/S-80 chassis.
