• Government-Issue: 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Ambulance (barnfinds.com) — A rare 1958 Pontiac Bonneville ambulance project is currently for sale in San Carlos, giving local classic‑car fans a chance to take over a partially restored, government‑commissioned vehicle. The car has a rebuilt engine installed, refreshed interior and floors, but still needs mechanical and electrical work before it's roadworthy, and is listed on eBay with a $20,000 opening bid.
