They call these cars "Pontiac", mainly because of their manufacturer, and this is a Superior High Headroom ambulance, similar to the one below: 1968 Pontiac Superior ambulance. Haynes Motor Museum I'm not sure if this is a 1968 either, so it's up to you Pontiac aficionados out there to improve this entry now.

It looked to me so and the fact that there are plenty of such Cadillacs med it possible. Are you sure this is a Pontiac ? The second idea of mine was a very late 60s Oldsmobile.

What we see looks like Superior, who only offered high top ambulances on Cadillac and Pontiac chassis back then.
