by This 60-year-old ZIM GAZ-12B is once again being used as an ambulance. During the epidemic, the vintage vehicle was put back into operation and handed over to doctors. 
The sanitary ZIM was restored by a collector from the Ural village of Patrushi. Previously, this 1959 GAZ-12B rarely left the garage, and few could have guessed that it would once again be carrying doctors. 
Amidst the epidemic, the owner decided to temporarily transfer the vehicle to medical workers.
Now doctors are making calls in the vintage ZIM. However, transporting laying patients is inconvenient due to the small trunk opening. 
By the way, sanitary vehicles based on the representative GAZ-12 were not uncommon in the USSR. They were produced from 1951 to 1960. Externally, they differed from the standard sedan mainly due to the special trunk roof design.
