About this product

Product Information

Beginning as station wagons from the likes of Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, and the car of choice, Cadillac, and converted into emergency and professional service vehicles, professional cars have become recognized as visual icons. Having only commercial chassis and the front and rear clips in common, each is unique with ornately carved pillars, body length windows, and custom mobile casket tables. Author Greg Merksamer , prolific automotive journalist, compiles this photographic history of hearses, flower cars, service cars, ambulances, and hearse-ambulances. More than 500 clear, large format photographs, combined with technical specifications, pay tribute to the cars used in professional service and the coachbuilders who made them.

  • Professional Cars

    The book is very informative on the history of motorized hearses. It gives great detail to all years, makes, and styles of coaches. I love all of the pictures of the different cars and trucks that have been constructed for use by funerals. The book had an amazing amount of pictures of different styles from 1900 to present day. I bought the book since I own and drive a hearse daily, and have always been fascinated with the beauty and elegance of these coaches. I am glad that I purchased the book since it has been quite a history lesson, and the pictures were like a visit to a museum.

  • Excellent book!

    Anybody that has any interest in ANY type of funeral car or ambulance will use the information in this book! I am a novice in this area, but this book has aided me to understand how the modern ambulance came to existence. I also didn’t know any history of funeral cars. Very informative book.

  • If you like professional cars, this book is a must have!

    I purchased this book because of my history in the death care industry (I'm a former funeral director/embalmer). This book is very informative. It goes into detail about the various funeral coaches (hearses) throughout the 1900's, and into the 2000's. It goes in depth about the various coach builders, where they were located, how long they were in business, and so forth. This book is a MUST HAVE for any professional car enthusiast, or retired death care professional! I highly recommend it!
