Cadillac Ambulance by Köng from Basel.

Yes, locked for you to name the model year and the model/series.

It is a Caddilac deVille, built by König in 1965. But it looks like a a model from 1963.

Wendax

Yes, it is a 1963 Cadillac, bodied by Köng supposedly in 1965, but it is not a Cadillac Deville. Still locked for you.

No, have a look at the wheelbase

sichel

I didn't pay any attention to the wheelbase, which is something that is also changed by the body builders. so, it is probably a "Fleetwood".

Wendax

Yes, I don't know for sure, but some years before Köng built a Cadillac ambulance on a commercial chassis which was part of the Series 75 Fleetwood range. So I assume that this one also was built on the Cadillac commercial chassis.

Thank you for the point and the reason to take a closer look at the history of Cadillac.
