AutoCult's 1957 DeSoto Firesweep Memphian Ambulance.
The 1:1 was built by the Memphis Coach Company. Period photos show a reverse red/white paint scheme but AutoCult chose to make it appear as an existing restored version. Memphis Coach used all manner of chassis for its ambulances and hearses - even an Edsel. A great writeup is here.

The 1957 Chevrolet 150 long wheelbase Service Car (in the linked article) is to die for!
