Wally,
C209... officially known as a C207-900, however Cessna later advertised it as a C209 to differentiate it from the standard 207. Cessna was originally planning on calling the c210 a 209, however obviously this could no longer occur since the 207-900 was advertised as a C209. So really the C209 designator was only used for a very short advertising campaign, and then forgotten.
Also, while reading my student doctor training books I noticed that an air ambulance service overseas were using C204's about 40 years ago. They were C182's which had been modified in various ways to accommodate 2 stretchers. One interesting mod was to convert it to a low wing design, and move the engine to the right wingtip thus allowing a stretcher to be stored in the nose.
Cheers,
Tiger.
