- My understanding is
that Brantford Coach and Body produced ambulances and
hearses from 1930 to 1939. Production averaged 2
ambulances and 20 hearses per year, resulting in
approximately 20-22 ambulances over a 10-year run. I have
owned this car 25 years (4th owner) and, from all
available information, believe it to be the only
ambulance to have survived intact from the total
production run. I did see a 1935 hood and Henney frame 20
years ago beside a barn, but the body was long gone,
having been replaced with a Ford cab from a pickup truck.
The car is original on the outside except for the winch
on the front. The guiding phrase on the 5-year, 12,000
hour restoration and re-engineering was subtle elegance.
As much of the original car was maintained as possible.
Changes were approached from the point of view that, if a
knowledgeable car person asks the question, "Is it or is
it not original?", we had done our job in creating the
illusion. The beginning of May 2005, I returned to
Ontario, Canada, having completed a 5 1/2 month, 7,000
mile tour of the central and south eastern U.S. driving
the Packard and towing a boat. This vehicle is literally
a traffic stopping head turner, producing many smiles and
thumbs up. At shows, it is looked at by more people, for
a longer period of time, than any other present. If you
appreciate the distinction of owning one of one in the
world, this is your opportunity.
