Model T Ford Ambulance

Original - Ford Model T Field Ambulance, 1916. Canvas on wood frame model, used extensively by the British & French as well as the American Expeditionary Force in The Great War. Top speed 45mph from a 4-cylinder water-cooled engine. (copied from photo description, with some punctuation added)

Each time I see this photo I am struck by the desperation and herosim of the people who drove and rode in this vehicle. As a current EMS worker, I'm also struck by how much ambulances have changed in the almost 100 years since this ambulance was built. The contrast of the peaceful nature of the photo versus the drama surrounding the vehicle when it was in use also appeals to me.

It's a nice picture, but I'm afraid there is absolutely no way this will succeed at FPC since it fails several of the criteria. Some problems: the image is not big enough; the image is too closely cropped around the vehicle; while the subject matter is interesting, the photograph itself is not of a high technical standard or of any outstanding aesthetic quality. You might try listing it at Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates (make sure you read the criteria first though), but I don't follow that page so can't advise you about your likely success.

I like the image and see value in it. A bit similar to this current VPC candidate, but with higher EV. I would support it as a Valued picture. Elekhh (talk) 00:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not too attractive, but. --Extra999 (Contact ^me + _contribs) 06:45, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
