Looks like the car in the right background is a Model T. My question is about the ambulance in the foreground.

Don't think it is a Ford. Looks like a twin to the ambulance in the background.

That picture was taken in St. Louis. It shows up from time to time here in a feature called "From the Post-Dispatch Archives."

The ambulances are on White Motor Co. chassis. This 1920 White delivery shows the rear axle and truss rod as well as the hub cap. While many different makes supplied ambulances for the war hundreds of Whites were used. The wheel and tire size is different.
When did I do that?

The picture of the public notice sure gives credence to the old saying "Everything old is new again" doesn't it? Sheesh.
Interesting sign hanging from the guys neck in the pic below it..."Wear a mask or go to jail"...wow. They meant business didn't they?
Interesting pics Dom, thanks for posting.

Kind of like a $500 fine issued by a certain state's government to people attending a church service in "drive-in movie" style.

He must have a stay at home order. We have a safer at home order, so I have been able to take my Model T out and test it to make sure it is still working. It is also good exercise since I have to lift the hood to turn on the gas, pump up the tires, and move stuff out of the way so I can reverse out of the garage. Social distancing is also taking place as I wave to people watching my parade.
