    From another early '90s 35mm print. Certainly a white over black '58 Miller Meteor would have caused chatter had it surfaced since.

      Dimly lit 35mm print offered as proof that more '59s are out there waiting for discovery. Don't think this Superior Royale limo style is a Crown - as C and D pillars appear parallel.

        20-22 years ago when a shutter snapped this '60 Superior Royale limo style combination it was still restorable.

        Even after knowing general area - it took patience, several months, and considerable detective work to figure out actual location. A handful of other procars are strewn over the same property - including a '63 Superior and a '64 Eureka Landau 3-way. I've spoken to owner and have an invite to come check them all out.

        So this lead (and sleuthing project) has turned more into "What condition(s) are they now?"

A current Google search turns up an "Executive Motors" in Ohio, about 4 hours away from Lima. Maybe they never got the price they were looking for and moved? Hmmmmmmmm......
          After asking around, I believe this is the S&S that FD Dan Skivolocke owns. Rance Bennett in MI handled the 10 year restoration.

            Snapped in '02. It was available in CA for some paltry sum - like $500. Certainly hope this super rare '59 Memphian Mercury still survives! Really neat coach.

              Syncing photos between old computers reminded me of this '52 Chrysler (Saratoga based?) ambulance for sale in '00 for $6500.

                  Lubbock, TX in '97 - looks like a '57 or '58 MM Futura lower right facing fence. Bet this whole yard was scrapped but who know?

                    Is the Futura the rear corner windows, like a Superior royal?
                    My 58 Miller Meteor is a Futura Limousine Duplex. Futura was the only part I wasnt sure about...

                      Futura was MM marketed term meaning limo style. If a Futura, by default it has windows all the way around.

                          Amazing how a small cell phone pic zoomed from a distance through a fence can make one's day~

                          The large 'carved' cast aluminum panels alone were well worth the full asking price.
                          Found yesterday! Nobody home. I'll have to wait until the weekend to learn out more. Convinced this is same coach. With any luck the price hasn't risen nor metal/wood deteriorated much more. And if it is not restorable, I'll proudly part it out and keep those cast panels.

                            This '60 Futura was captured somewhere in OK as it sat in the late '80s-early '90s.
