Ambulance 48

(Retired)

Ambulance 48 is a 1972 Cadillac Miller Meteor 54 inch Lifeliner Ambulance with a 472 cid (7.7-liter) gasoline V-8 producing 345 HP @ 4,400 rpm.  The transmission is a 3-speed automatic rear wheel drive that averages about 7-8 MPG.  Curb weight is 6,000 pounds plus. Ambulance 48 was purchased by the Ridge Rescue Squad brand new in November 1, 1972 for $18,475.  The paint specs were Upper panels – Aspen White, Center Panels – Flamenco Red with Lower panels and fenders – Aspen White.  The interior was Cordovan Vinyl Upholstery, white Vinyl headliner and Brick block flooring.

The Ridge Volunteer Rescue Squad is continuously seeking help and/or donations to maintain a part of Saint Mary’s county history!  Ambulance 48 served the First District for many years and was eventually replaced with more modern ambulances.  After the 2001 Squad building fire, Ambulance 48 was forced outside where nature took its ugly toll.  The motor/transmission was overhauled, many of the rubber pieces had to be replaced and the body required large amounts of rust repair along with a complete exterior paint job.  To keep Ambulance 48 serviceable, we are always looking for help (money, parts, labor, etc.), so please contact us at e-mail info@ridgevrs.org or call 301-872-5970 if you can help.  To make a monetary donation, please send to:

Ridge VRS

Attn: Cadillac Fund
PO Box 456
Ridge, MD 20680

***Please make a note that the donation is for the Cadillac Fund.***

Thank you for your continued support!
