Aloha Tom , Hows things ? Yup , that's our 36 Henney/Oldsmobile...  i've done lots 'o research on this car ... And my Uncle found the orignial private owner (Dudes about 90) still in Prescott,Az , where it was 1st delivered to US Army Medical Corps @ Ft. Whipple , AZ (1936) where it served as an Army Ambulance till 1953 , then it was donatied to the Yavipai County AZ Fire Dept. .. then retired in 1967 when he bought it at auction ... he used it in his pluming business ... then sold it to the guy where we found it (1977) ... he had the engine rebuilt at a local shop , put 850 miles on it ... then parked behind his house till we found & bought it in 2008 ... It does run and yard drives !! Found the Orignial I.D. Plate under some old shag carpet .. It's a 1936 Progress 8 Series 764 Ambulance/Service Car one of 1,017 total proudction by built by Oldsmobile where Henney built the bodies ... very few were 764's ... Most were built as Hearses ... Probably a li'l more than ya asked , but i just luv this ol' car !!    Attached Pic : Took this Pic in the rear ... Think'n something or somebody might still be in it !?!?
