History of the Chevrolet C60L Ambulance

The C60L model, equipped with all-wheel drive and an extended long-type chassis, was primarily used as a field ambulance by the Canadian, Australian, British, and New Zealand armies. It offered excellent mobility even in difficult terrain, making it ideal for evacuating the wounded from battlefields in North Africa, Italy, Normandy, and on the Southeast Asian fronts. The Chevrolet C60L played a particularly important role during the Normandy landings and the Italian campaign. The vehicle was used intensively between 1942-1945, during World War II.
