guess what is keeping my 58 company now???

I think it would be much better looking with landau bars !

Never even noticed it didn't ever originally have any. That must be rare not to.

Put 'em on Rocky,
Darren

P.S. Unless there is a reason to keep it bowless that is.

Im with you on that! Hearses need landau bars. It will have them on it when im done.

I do need to get the center and end bolt caps for them though. Does anyone have any out there that wants to get ride of some?
 
If it were mine I would leave the bars off. Why make it look like all the others when it started as being different from the rest.
 
Warm chocolate cookies just out of the oven and cold milk...

somethings are just so good together.


Landau Hearses and Landau Bars are meant to be together.

Futura's... Agreed, no need for the bars !


MY OPINION ONLY,
Darren


P.S. I did mention if there was a good or historical reason not to, then don't.
Maybe a cost saving ? Maybe the buyer just didn't like them ? Wonder why this baby didn't get them. Anyone know ?
 
Might be a good hearse to do something custom with, like a wreath. We had a hearse here years ago that didn't have landau bars on it, just a wreath where they normally would go. It was a straight hearse, not a combo.

Just something you could order back then to make your fleet stand out. Other models didn't have them either, the S&S Barone, for example.

Looks like it has good company, Glad it all worked out for everyone. This helped me buy back something I let go. Pics to follow.


Say hello to my little friend. This came from Mullens Coach in Kansas about 11 years ago,sold it to a friend and with the sell of the 62 to Rocky I was able to get it back. :dancing: Pics are when I had it but it look,s about the same needs some cleanup and a few odds and ends but nothing big. Thanks to Tom he gave me the selling info from his Flxible records.= It was Flxible's body number 1351. It was sold by the Cole Miller Coach Company of Kansas City, Missouri to George Chaput Sons in Concordia, Kansas and delivered to them on June 21, 1963.
