Before you look at the links, here is a little bit about what professional cars I've owned and what kinds of cars I like:
Many years ago I owned a 1963 Superior Cadillac Sovereign landau-style end-loading funeral coach, with suicide doors. I sold it to some local clam diggers back around 1986 or so. It now sits somewhere in a junkyard, and is a basket case, as far as I know. In September 1997 I bought a 1974 Miller-Meteor Cadillac Criterion 54" hightop ambulance. I bought it in Denver, Colorado, from an ambulance dealer owned by a PCS member. It had been taken out of service in June of 1996 by the hospital that had it since new. I was the first and only owner since it was taken out of service. In early August of 1999 I sold the car to an EMS squad for parade use and what have you. In December 1998 I bought a 1970 Miller-Meteor Cadillac Landau Traditional landau-style end-loading funeral coach. It was white with black crinkle roof, and I kept a brand new steel casket in it. In December of 2000 I sold the car to an enthusiast in Delaware. I now own a 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousine, which I bought in November of 2000. It is white with black vinyl roof. I am a proud member of The Professional Car Society , and The Cadillac/LaSalle Club . I am also a member of the American Station Wagon Owner's Association, the Northeast Imperial Owner's Club, and Southern California Imperial Owners Inc. My vehicle I use as a daily driver is a 1987 Ford F-150 4-wheel drive pickup that I've had since new. (Yes, I drive a pickup truck every day!)
My ultimate ambulance would be the one I sold last year (mentioned above). It was the exact year, make and model I want, plus it was equipped exactly as I would want. It had Mars 888 front tunnel lights, a mint condition Federal Q2b siren, and a highback captain's chair in the rear compartment on the passenger side of the car, next to the side door. But I had to sell it for financial reasons. See my PhotoPoint galleries for pictures. Another ambulance I wouldn't mind having would be an Amblewagon conversion of a 60s or 70s Chrysler Town & Country. My ultimate hearse would be any Superior Cadillac landau-style endloader, with suicide doors, from the years 1959-1964 (especially 1959), but a `63 or `64 Eureka Cadillac landau endloader would do in a pinch. My ultimate limousine would be any Ghia Imperial from the years 1957-1965. In addition, I love all hearses, limos, and ambulances of the late 20's through the early 40's, especially carved hearses (gothic and carved-drape).
Besides Professional Cars, I also am interested in 1959-1976 Cadillacs, 1957-1975 Imperials, 1958-1979 Lincolns, and also just about any full-size or mid-size car of the 60's or 70's. This includes Checkers, Corvairs, Corvettes, Rolls-Royces, most station wagons, muscle cars, etc. My ultimate station wagon would be a `74 to `77 Chrysler Town & Country, or any `71 to `76 Buick, Chevy, Olds, or Pontiac full size with the "disappearing tailgate". A nice Cadillac wagon conversion would be cool too, but those are very hard to find. I also like pickup trucks, especially Fords. My ultimate pickup would be an early 90s Ford F-350 4-wheel drive, crew-cab pickup, with Navistar 7.3 liter Powerstroke Diesel and a 5-speed. My ultimate 4X4 vehicle of any kind would be a Lamborghini LM002. Those things were awesome! Some cars of the late 20's and early 30's that I like, in no particular order, are: Cunningham V-9, Stutz DV32, Duesenberg J and SJ, Cord L29, Rolls Royce, Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler Imperial, Marmon V-16. Some foreign cars I like are Citroen, and the VW "Microbus", Beetle, and Type 3 wagon ("Squareback"). I also like the VW New Beetle. Other new or recent cars I like include the Dodge Viper V10, any late model Bentley Turbo R, Lamborghini Countach, Acura NSX, Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi 3000GT.
