Hi All!!

IF this link doesn't post/work right could somebody please fix it and post the pictures?? my friend Amy shared this on facebook earlier and I didn't see it listed HERE yet. LOVE this car!!! particularly for me because of the porthole windows and the beautiful headlamps!!!!!!! WISH I had the talent/money/time and space because I think that with my barn and house this would just blend perfectly!!! plus I just REALLY like it!! I hope somebody sees this and falls in love with it enough to bring it home!! I believe it's in Rhode Island???

thanks everyone, and I hope this gets some discussion as like I said, I REALLY like this coach!! Thinking it would look beautiful all restored stock and painted a nice green!! (kinda like Tom's Eureka!)

Very interesting to say the least. The oval or round coach window in the sail panel and the lack or a rear loading door would lead me to believe that this is a Knightstown that was or is equipped with the Knightstown side-loading feature and equipment - not a moving table but, the in floor roller system. As I said, very interesting and exceedingly rare. This one deserved to be purchesed by a serious enthusiast and properly restored. Thanks for posting this. It's amazing what's still out there.

Thanks Keith!
interesting info!! I was actually looking at my copy of the "Black Book" to try to identify it myself, just can't seem to do that though!! didn't know if it didn't have a rear door or if it was just very difficult to see the hinges/opening in the photo?? didn't know there was a hearse made without a rear door!!! plus, the headlamps don't look quite right judging just by the photo's in the book for the time period?? but I do like them better!!!!
