An article in the Aug. 24, 1961, edition of the Herald Argus and Baltimore Countian reported on the arrival of a new, modern ambulance for the area. The new $7,000 Catonsville ambulance, a one-ton Chevrolet panel body truck chassis converted into an ambulance, is far superior to the old Cadillac which cost nearly $10,000, according to Deputy Fire Chief Lee Cockey . It is more durable, the metal is heavier, repairs will be cheaper, it will require less time in the shop and in all respects will be less worrisome, Chief Cockey said.

The audience for "Road Scholar," which opens today at th Rotunda, certainly should include readers of The Sun. That's because this is the first movie ever about a Sun writer, if you discount Meg Ryan in "Sleepless in Seattle," and Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins in "HeSaid, She Said."Not only that: Our boy actually appears on camera most of the time. He gets to ride a big red convertible and shoot machine guns! Yes: it's "Lethal Weapon IV" with Dan Rodricks in the Mel Gibson role!Oh, forgive my little joke there, folks.

For the new model year, the Cadillac Seville, Eldorado, Fleetwood and DeVille offer a new 4.9-liter, 200-horsepower update of last year's 4.5-liter, 180-hp V-8.In test driving a '91 Fleetwood, we found 20 more horsepower means you move from the light a bit quicker and quieter than with the 4.5.It means that when you're on that hill and the 4.9 is under the hood, the speedometer needle rises if you press the accelerator. With the 4.5, you had to press the pedal as you approached the hill to gain the needed momentum.

The division hopes to grab a share of that market segment with the redesigned Seville and Eldorado.
