I also have two other funeral vehicle books. This newest book is a welcome addition to my collection. The only disappointing thing about the book is that besides the cover, it's in black and white, as are all my other books so I shouldn't be surprised. Damn! every other page describes the color of the car as "blue", or "gold", I'd love to see these in color. The text and photo quality of this book is outstanding. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in hearses. I especially liked seeing the newest 2003 models.

This book offers very good text and great photographs on a very little known part of american automotive history. I highly recomend this book.

As a history buff I am very critical of the books I get and this one is the best I have seen. The black and white photos are excellent and very crisp. The details are amazing. I can use this book as a reference for every conversation I have with my hearse collector club as I own a 1959 Superior Crown Royale. I take this book with me to all the car shows I attend so people can see the beauty of my favorite pasttime which is restoring and collecting classic funeral vehicles.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves these classic funeral vehicles.

This book contains a detailed history of American funeral vehicles from 1883-2003. I personally own Thomas A. McPherson 1973 black book and I think American Funeral Vehicles 1883--2003 by Walter McCall is the new black book and is an excellent addition to anyone's collection. This book is becoming hard to get so get it while you can.

Found this used, when looking for a gift for my father-in-law, who is a mortician. He really liked it, and I found it interesting as well. I only wish some photos were in color.
