Goofy Dracula parody from the 70's. Will the Transylvanian vampire survive (what was then) modern-day New York City?

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/9743/firstbitehearsekk4.th.jpg Cadillac Funeral Coach hearse. Dracula's primary mode of conveyance, "a combination getaway car and mobile home," as he puts it. 3 stars.

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/6312/firstbitevancy3.th.jpg Ford van of some sort. Animal control vehicle. 2 stars.

From what I can see of Ferguson's unmarked police car, it looks more like a 1974 Plymouth Fury. And yes, the Ford Van is an Econoline. Until the Aerostar came out in 1986, it was the only van they made on this side of the Atlantic.

Anyone else think the ambulance looks like a Grummon-Olsen? Or is it a Chevrolet?

I'm going to say it's a Penn Versatile Stop and Go-er, with a Chassis by Ford.
