A few more sad CB's.
The black 64 Cotington is at a Haunted House in TX somewhere ( love them formal drapes) and the 64 Seville was ( or still is) in Grey Ga

RARE RARE RARE 63 MM "Futura" that was on ebay in 08. It appears to of been a 3way....anyone know it's whereabouts? Tony seemed to know a bit about this car.

I recognize that mug anywhere, as I owned one just like it: 1950 A.J Miller Cadillac!

Caught wind that DVAP had a decent, dry, restorable '60 Superior Pontiac military ambulance come in. Wasn't surprised learning upon calling that it had already sold. The price it brought however (as shown) - now that's a different story.

$6800.

I see Buick "chrome road wheels."

 

[Kurt Arends]

WoW!! I would have guessed that one at $2500 on the top end in that condition!

I realize photos of this coach have been posted in this forum in the past but I thought some of you might find this video clip interesting.

Here's one that will make us fans of the carved-panel hearses CRINGE!

So the background on this hearse is that it was sold at auction last Wednesday. I guess it had been sitting out behind the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, England waiting to be restored. I had said to a few friends, both RR fans and hearse fans, that someone would buy it for the Rolls Royce chassis and scrap the body. Nailed that one, huh?

This is why we see so few vintage Rolls Royce hearses. The "hearse" is worthless, but the "Rolls Royce" fetches a premium.
