SynopsisBeginning as station wagons from the likes of Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, and the car of choice, Cadillac, and converted into emergency and professional service vehicles, professional cars have become recognized as visual icons. 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, and hearse-ambulances. More than 500 clear, large format photographs, combined with technical specifications, pay tribute to the cars used in professional service and the coachbuilders who made them.

An enjoyable and Informative source; a very nice collectible
As I was searching through book offerings, I came upon this title. The attractive cover grabbed my attention, first of all, and certainly raised my brow!. I have a family member who is most interested in professional cars, and collects models of such vehicles. I knew right away, he would LOVE this book! When I received this edition, I leafed through it myself, and was impressed with the photos, and information about the featured vehicles. It is very well done! The book was a gift, and is now in my brother's possession. He absolutely loves the content, and has thanked me for it..multiple times. Anyone who is has an avid interest in this area of professional cars past, or present, will welcome a copy of this editionVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent book!
Anybody that has any interest in ANY type of funeral car or ambulance will use the information in this book! I am a novice in this area, but this book has aided me to understand how the modern ambulance came to existence. I also didn’t know any history of funeral cars. Very informative book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
