It was in commemoration of my achieving 500 watches. The objective was to be the first to identify the model year and make of the ambulance in a drawing posted on the Feb. 18th, 2020.
Though the contest is over, I left the old rules up on this posting for archive purposes:
#1. Participation is only for those who are presently watching me at the time of the contest.
In the event a watcher grabs up a non-watcher's correct answer, the watcher will get the credit for the correct answer. A non-watcher's answer will not count.
#2. Only one choice per comment.
You may leave as many answers as you like. However, if you do want to leave an additional answer, leave it in another separate comment.

An answer won't count if one comment reads several choices such as, "It's either a 1940 Chrysler, 1949 Cadillac or a 1947 Packard".
No editing comments - Answers in edited comments will not count.
If you meant to say something different, make another comment.
There is obviously a good reason for this one;
Oh say, if Rickety Weasel gave a wrong answer 5 minutes ago.
Five minutes after Rickety Weasel's wrong answer, Henry Hound correctly identifies the ambulance.
Then, Rickety Weasel goes back and edits his answer from 5 minutes ago, and says, "Naw way. I got it right five minutes ago...Seeeee?".
Henry Hound would be screwed over by Rickety Weasel.
By the way, edited submission comments do have a prompt indicating so.
#4. Leave your answers only in the comment section of the posting.
A very good reason for this is, if someone leaves the correct answer in the comment section of the posting at the same moment someone else leaves the correct either as a shout or a PM, I would have no way of knowing who was the first to leave the answer...Therefore, answers left anywhere else other than in the comment section of the posting will not count.
#5. Along with providing what make the ambulance is, the model year is also part of the answer.
Which brings up rule #5...If you get the brand name correct, but don't know the model year, or vice-versa, I'm only going to tell participants either, "That's not it"...
...or "You got it" if you get both brand and year correct.

For the example, I'll use a 1970 Datsun (which couldn't possibly be the correct choice anyway).
If a 1970 Datsun was, used, and you say, "I know what it is. It's a 1968 Datsun".
In that hypothetical example, I would not reply, "You got the brand right, but 1968 is not the model year".
Same in the example goes vice-versa for, "I know that's got to be a 1970...Uh, Toyota".
My reply would still be, "No. That's not it".
Series such as Brougham, Limited, Deluxe, LX, Sport, DX, GT, etc are not required. You can volunteer that if you like, though I wouldn't be concerned with getting that precise.
Just model year and brand name will suffice for the correct answer.
#6. Feel free to browse Google, Youtube, Wikipedia and other sites for images of old cars if you want to.
Obviously I have no way to police that. And being that some furrys would Google images for old cars anyway, it wouldn't be fair to have other furrys feel like it was cheating to do so.
Thus, If you want to surf the web for old car images to come up with an answer, it's okay for everyone to do so.
And to all my watchers, I would like to take this time to say, "Thank you".
