My 59' Miller Meteor Hearse!!

[Dr.Feelgood]

are you going to leave it how it is? it looks so bad ass! just how it did when i saw her last.

[kitkong]

I plan to restore her, if that's what you mean.

Despite the fact she looks wicked in the photos, and is definitely so up close/in person.........she needs some TLC.

and I have plans for that this year.

I am so effing jealous kitkong...words cannot express my wanton for your car. Thankfully though I know that it is in good hands (as are any other car on this site). Ggrrr!

[kitkong]

Thank you Sir!

Although it may be some time before she is finished to my satifaction, I'll definitely post photos once the transformation is done.

Oh I understand, as a veteran of many car restorations, I understand time and money consuming the projects and be, not to mention they always take longer than you want...

[kitkong]

Should be cool though!!

Oh indeed. I'm almost 100% positive that if that model belonged to me I'd take a different route (think "who ya gonna call?"), but yeah...just looking at that car brings a smile to my face!

Most pimptastic man - keep us posted on the progress - that is far too few pictures for such a badass car - get out there from every angle and get some documentation kickin!

I seriously thought about doing that, but there are so many "Ghostbuster" style cars of every variation out there, I just felt she needed to be given a different direction.

God knows how much I love that "GhostBusters Ecto 1"!!!
Just as much as I love the 58' Fury in "Christine"!!
Had one of those for a while............talk about a badass car!!!

What other sort of photos should I take/would you like to see?

We got another blizzard coming, so once it warms up again, I'll get the camera out.

It doesnt matter what you take a picture of as long as the 59 is in there, i mean really, ...explore the space!

A blizzard?

Wow that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment for her.

I think I am gonna have to hand you $20,000 and bring the old girl down to retire in Florida.

No, really, what did you pay? Where do you live? <<grabs keys and wallet>>

Need that in $100s?



That is a seriously sweet coach.

If I have my way I will own one of that year one day...

Just a shame that I have not yet found one to even look at that is for sale.

I look forward to hating you more and more as we see restoration photos. LOL

[Xanthus]

Did I hear correct that it was more? Nothing ill meant by my mention of price.

<<still drooling at the coach>>

[kitkong]

Yea, she's a cool car!!

I plan to start the restoration this fall, if not sooner

That's when I'll start taking some serious photos of her!!

I wanna have her ready for next years "HearseCon"

Right now, she doesn't run too well, so I put her in storage......keep her out of the wind & rain...........but fear not.........she'll be back on the road soon!

Best not wait until Fall! Next year will be here before you know it.

Side note: I followed a lead up tonight on a '59 Miller Meteor ambulance for Xanthus (not the one I've previously mentioned, another!). All original ex-Navy coach requiring restoration. Found out that it had already sold and traded hands for $22k. Anyone familiar with this one..? Didn't see any pics and am unfamiliar.
