I remebered a story about an excentric funeral director who had and ambulance that was painted a strip pattern on one side and a checker board on the other becasue he didnt want people to think it was the same ambulance when it passed by, supposedly he also had a hearse he used on funerals with bull horns on it. The funeral home is still in buisness and he still runs it, which is an interesting place itself. I have never been able to find any proof about the ambulance or the hearse but was wondering if anyone else had any strange stories about unusual color combos for procars?

My uncle that is a Funeral Director in Louisiana has always told me that there use to be a Funeral Director in Mississippi that had a hearse that was painted one color on one side, and another color on the other side, so people would think he had 2 different hearses. Wonder if its the same Funeral Home.

A detroit funeral home by the name of Mcfall brother's had a fleet of coaches that where painted a none metallic robins egg's blue body with a dk royal blue roof the lower color i believe was a superior color not called robins egg's blue maybe someone can help me with the name of the color.
Temple & Sons in Oklahoma City stil uses a 1968 (I think) Cadillac Firemist Blue with Gold metallic vinyl tops. They have a fleet of 07 Superior Coaches and 24 hour limos and a 96 Coach and Limo for backup.
There used to be an outfit up in Cleveland that had a 1971 or 72 Cadillac Superior combination that had a white bottom and the godawfulest caramel colored painted top. YUCKY, YUCKY, YUCKY. To top it all off, the thing had 4 Federal Beacons on it.
I belive its the same guy, he also wears ties for belts.
