Matchcovers - procar style

Funeral homes and ambulance services used many items for promotional giveaways over the years incuding shower caps, whistles, calendars, blotters, pens, and matches. Some of these items had pictures of generic cars - usually taken from procar ads or brochures - while some used drawings or other artist's conceptions. The good giveaways, though, had photos of the actual cars used by the firm whose name was on the item. This thread is for those items; I'll get it started:

Klanke F.H. (Lakewood, OH)
1955 Envoy

National Ambulance (Rochester, NY)
1954-56 Miller

Sidmon F.H. (Kansas City, MO)
1959 Ford

Fortin F.H. (Lewiston, ME)
1957 Eureka

(SL collection)
