Book Description

Publication Date: June 22, 2004

Professional cars are unlike any other vehicles on the road. Hearses, flower cars, first-call coaches, limousines and ambulances are fascinating, high-budget, specialty vehicles with their own mystique. And in recent years, they have gained an increasingly large following among automobile collectors, historians, and hobbyists.

jamie - See all my reviews

This review is from: Professional Cars: Ambulances, Hearses and Flower Cars (Paperback)

This is a decent book. It gives a brief history of the various makers such as Cadillac, Ford, etc. I would have liked more photos from the various makers such as Superior, S & S Eureka, etc.

I would prefer less old old hearses and more on new models and Presidential fleets and background on such.
