  • '42 Miller Art Carved

    Arguably the most famous coach that has come out of Mexico in recent years.



    Price of admission? A 22 hour day without so much as bathroom breaks or food. Add ticks faster than you can count while removing. Think you have what it takes?



    Not a single image was included in the Miller Meteor book of an Art Carved with glass panels. Some have claimed this must be faked or modified.



    This '42 Miller Art Carved is unrestored, original paint, and most definitely REAL!




    Detail this rare coach exudes is simply breathtaking. Upon walking around a corner and at first glance, it commands both unheralded attention and respect.



    Given confines, 25mm wide angle provided a decent tool.



    Note smooth, curved rear door that does not have arched windows.



    Leaning toward reupholstered interior (or portions thereof) at some point in the past. Doesn't deter much as patina matches.



    Shriner insignia or funeral lamp..?



    Many, many deep breaths were heard as this coach saturated senses.



    The Miller's custodian has gone through mechanically since acquiring. It now runs. Wheels have been powdercoated and new tires fitted, yet to be mounted on coach.



    There is evidence supporting this coach continued a 'trend' of being exported to Mexico when originally decommissioned in the US. It was last registered here in New Jersey, 1949. Perhaps this is enough information to track early life.

      Is there a price on this? I imagine it's un-affordable, but just wondering

                Remove that idea from your head! Is not now nor for the next generation be available; being willed.

                When you retrieve that door glass, you can see it in person.

                Right click/view image to bring them up 1024x576. I shot higher but that seemed large enough to upload.

                  You don't see those every day. For some strange reason, carved hearses give me the creeps! What's up with the modern serpentine belts? They look out of place on an old car like that.
