Project Nostalgia Submod [RELEASED - Bugfixes Uploaded Regularly]

Recommended Posts

So I noticed earlier that private ambulances were mentioned, especially AMR and McCormick and that they might be made if some reference images could be found. Recently I stumbled upon a Facebook page which disclosed that ambulances in owned by Medtrans (AMR Corporate), weren't using the name AMR across the board until the late 90s, instead just using the original names of the ambulance companies they bought. So I found a prominent one throughout Los Angeles County at the time and that being the Goodhew Ambulance company. 

I'm not quite sure where the page got this info from but if you're still into the idea of private ambulances, I'll leave the link to it for you; https://www.facebook.com/NationalPrivateEMS/photos/goodhew-ambulanceearly-1900s-1993los-angeles-cafounded-by-j-h-goodhewacquired-by/10150698962387119/

Also another note from the Riverside Fire Department's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CityOfRiversideFire/posts/today-in-rfd-history-december-1-1991goodhew-ambulance-places-into-service-med-83/2014236285382693/

Also some reference images

Apologies for the paragraph

I've been having computer trouble lately which is why I've been quiet for a bit.

Work is continuing now that some problems have been solved. Here's 2 new civilian additions that are separate from all the other scratch made models.

I'd like to welcome this CHP patrol vehicle to the family.

I also made a big discovery today. LASD used the Plymouth Volare in or around 1977.

I will include this unit into the mod, but only next year. There's still too much work for for a rather nondescript patrol unit.

That is a movie prop. Jennifer93 posted the real thing which is actually a Volvo, not a Freightliner.

This is the actual one yes. The one in the movie is an entirely different vehicle.

Some unusual stuff I found today that might be helpful in some way:

LAFD sedan with a special Aerodynic setup

Early 70s LAPD AMC Matador wagon that apparently survived until the mid or late 80s,
possibly the same one that appears in another pic parking beside a LTD,
note the decal additions

Thanks for finding the battalion car. I'll make that and the split lightbar variants next year.

Thanks as well for the LAPD Matador photo, however I have to correct you. The wagon parked next to the LTD is actually a late 70's Caprice.

The tail light and body shape is a giveaway for it being a Caprice. The front left reflector light disqualifies the AMC and the Impala. The reason I estimate 70's is due to the can lights. Have you come across this?
