Professional Cars Ambulances, Hearses And Flower Cars

Product description

Expert craftsman transformed station wagons from the likes of Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick—and the car of choice, Cadillac—into custom emergency and service vehicles. Having only commercial chassis and the front and rear clips in common, each is unique with ornately carved pillars, body length windows, and custom mobile casket tables. Author Greg Merksamer, prolific automotive journalist, compiles this photographic history of hearses, flower cars, service cars, ambulances, limousines, invalid coaches, sedan ambulances, and hearse-ambulances, paying tribute to the cars used in professional service and the coachbuilders who made them.
