Automotive Conversion Corp.

Automotive Conversion Corp. was a small coachbuilder who specialized in the conversion of standard wheelbase station wagons and vans into ambulances and funeral cars. Their best known slogan: “The Amblewagon is a genuine Ambulance!".

Initially the Amblewagon conversion consisted of a standard Ford or Mercury station wagon ordered with beefier steering and suspension that was fitted with a Ford Courier one-piece tailgate and outfitted with custom-built interior cabinets (covered with matching vinyl), a collapsible gurney, grill or roof-mounted warning lights and beacon, a siren, head light flashers, removable frosted Plexiglas inserts with a cross etched into them, plus shades for the rear doors. All of the extras were held in place by a combination of wing nuts and spring clips and could be removed, converting the vehicle back into a stock-appearing station wagon in under five minutes.
