Athena Hearse

Andrew don't mind him he's an "old ambulance guy"/ probably doesn't know Athena was a model of a heasre - I don't recall seeing that model around our area at all- my guess is the production nunbers would be very low-Kevin

I looked around my collection and didn't find anything, but I looked online and found these on McLellan's site. You may have seen this already, but if not, it's pretty cool....

And from Walter Miller's collection. Currently for sale on eBay (Auction Link).

Miller-Meteor Athena

The Athena was Miller-Meteor's "price car", built on the standard Cadillac or Oldsmobile chassis...not a commercial chassis. It was a standard glass, "tailstretched" car that never did see much success.

The early versions had the stepped roof, as seen in the photos of the Cadillac Adam submitted. Later versions had a uniform roofline, as seen on the Oldsmobile.

I can say for certain there were indeed some Oldsmobile Athenas built. I have seen and photographed a very few Athenas. I'll scan and share my photos here later.

It is my eyesight that has failed me.. I could have sworn that he was looking for information on an antenna...... Who spiked my coffee??? I have deleted my antenna posts.....

Let's all chip in and buy Paul a new AM/FM Athena for his ambulance!~ :cheers:

Ironically, I think an antenna may be better looking than an Athena.

Oldsmobile Athena

Here is a '78 M-M Olds Athena that was sold through Miller-Meteor Sales of Minneapolis. These images were taken after it came back in as a used car.

not a lot of stretch on this one. looks like the just added the roof and what ever it took to put the back door on. had they used a station wagon to start with the quarters would not have looked so off.

Could you please make that an AM/FM/CB/ Athena?? Thanks

 

[Charles A. Eckert]

Thanks for posting those. I've been an Oldsmobile fan for a long time, too, and my other collector car is a 78 Delta 88. You just don't see too many Oldsmobiles of that vintage in hearse form.

I like these! But then, I'm a weirdo. I guess I'm just finding myself drawn more and more to the more unusual, lesser-seen cars.
