A few more Demers coaches. I don't know much about them, but I've always been fascinated.

 

[Cary Livingston]

A few more Mopars.....since Adam posted some Demers.
I think this was a 67 or 68 National that was on ebay way back in 1998, yanno when 320 x 240 imagery was state of the art.

75 Town and Country Paul Renaud conversion CA W McCall Collection

And while this isnt procar related it is Flxible related...which in itself makes it interesting.

I used to read Hemmings alot...while there was a lot of redundancy the new Hemmings is a fun read other than it weighs a ton. This might be enjoyable to some of y'all.

FWIW, I have been passing this thread along to Joe Weller, whose father and uncle were the Weller Brothers. I had the pleasure of working with Joe in my early days at the airport and, believe it or not, only recently found out about his "pro-car connection"!

I have asked him if he has any photos of his dad's work and he assures me that he does. He just doesn't know where they are right now but he stated that he will look for them. He did tell me that he does have a couple of photos that he is going to scan and send to me to share with the board. I have invited him to join the PCS, but haven't heard if he will or not.

And finally, he states that he has really enjoyed viewing his father's work and that these photos bring back great memories. He did say, however, that he thought the red Chrysler with AFD on the back (reply #92, page 10) was not a Weller product.

So, I guess we can all hold on to our seats as we await more shots of Weller Brothers pro-cars!

Here's a later picture of that '57 Weller Buick.

This FH is/was in Nashville, TN.

Another Weller....this one deserves a post of it's own....it's awe inspiring.
1956 Ford...from the Dr White Collection

Can you say "amp draw"?

Note the duals and sparse interior....

Dr White for these.

This Weller Ford was operated by the Coulter Funeral Home in Chattanooga Tennessee which is now closed. Rumor has it that this car is in storage some where in the Chattanooga area but I've never been able find out where though.

And a '56 Weller Buick.

Pettus Owen & Wood Funeral Home in latter years was a part of the Loewn Group and then the Alderwoods Group. When SCI accuired Alderwoods in about 2007 they had to close a number of locations and POW was one that closed in Nashville. The area had became a very bad part of town and the calls at POW had fell off over the last few years of opertation, amongst other reasons as well. I was also was given a POW name plate after the firm was shut down. On another historical note our funeral homes in Lebanon and here in Watertown (we are aprox 35 miles from Nashville) shared the same 2-way radio fequency/repeater for a number of years with POW back during the ambulance days.

Thursday Night Oddity
Occasionally we stumble across something we had never seen before. This is such a beast. I had never seen it until last week.

1969 AMC Ambassador Armbruster Stageway Limo. Seen another one?

Read about it below.

When I was a kid my dad had a 69 Ambassador and I thought it was the coolist thing in the world and always have wanted one ever since. Finding one in a limo would be the best!!

Can I assume Joe knows this is on it's way? I just found out about it today and am pretty excited.
