In 1933 the Sayers & Scovill Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio and The Eureka Co. of Rock Falls, Illinois, introduced a daring new departure in funeral car design. This stunning, semi-streamlined new hearse design featured richly-carved imitation drapery panels—complete with folds, fringes, tassels and tieback cords—on the sides and rear of the car. |
Walter M. P. McCall is one of the most widely known and respected fire apparatus historians and authors in North America. In addition to his highly regarded American Fire Engines Since 1900 – still considered the “bible” of the old fire engine hobby – Walt McCall has authored over a dozen Iconografix fire apparatus and professional car books. Thomas A. McPherson's byline is well known to most professional car enthusiasts. Because he has been documenting the history of the professional car industry and its products for many years, he is considered by many to be the leading authority in the field. He has co-authored a few books on funeral cars & hearses, as well as self-published 3 hefty books on his own – Flxible, Eureka and Superior. |
