The "raised roof" as you call it was common on almost all ambulances made on these extended wheelbases, and certainly not exclusive to Packard. But lesser known is that Packard offered a raised roof, 2 inches as I remember, on many of their sedans from at least 1933 thru 1942. These are often called "high tops" and were for the crowd that still believed you should be able to wear you top hat in the car. I've only seen a few of these over the years, one a 1941 or 42, and the other a 1934 1108, currently in Norway (pix below). Buick also made a very limited number, the most notable being the sedan made for Queen Elizabeth's visit to Canada in 1939.

I'd be happy to look at the car, but there is no such place as Huddard, Ohio. Do you have any contact information?

Sorry about the delay, but yes, that is the correct web address, I have no way of knowing if the Packard is still there. I believe it was a future project for the museum...I don't think it's for sale, but I was over joyed at least to see someone had kept such a unique/military Packard piece. Hubbard, Ohio is a little ways south of Cleveland, Ohio.
