Do some research on the photography of Matthew Brady. He took the first pictures of the ambulances during the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression down here). He shows the ambulance and field hospitals (emrgency room) of that era.

Try any large fire department websites, I believe LA City has a history photo section.

Someone posted this link on another site- amazing that someone would pay $15,000 for this- a 1962 Corvair van ambulance!
Actually looking in the door, it does'nt look as roomy as a Cadillac high top-
