Weller Brothers was one of no fewer than four independent hearse and ambulance conversion businesses that flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. Unlike most other coachbuilders, Weller designed and fabricated hearses and ambulances on virtually any make of car supplied by the customer. The result was an astonishing variety of one-of-a-kind professional cars on nearly every marque sold by the U.S. big three, including Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile – and at least one Packard! |
