  • Wanted: Combo car, still unsure what year

    I am currently searching for a combination car(this may be flexible, I'm just thinking about the fold up backseats.) I have looked online, and so far, I am still sort of lost. I have found cwcoach.com, and various other sellers. Can anyone give me some tips on finding a car?

    Many members here are knowledgable with coaches that may be local to them and not advertised elsewhere. If you can provide more pertinent info - like condition, price range, and search radius from you - some leads will probably come in. You can also probably limit the year range by taking into consideration automotive styles that you like. The more details you can provide, the better the results.

    Each of the four main coach builders made combinations. Most were limo style coaches with windows all the way around. However, there are a handful of landau combinations surviving. Couple of NHAA members own them. Flxible built on Buick chassis exclusively.

      I have a 63 Cadillac Miller Meteor Combo. Its just about finished with a full restoration. Go to www.1963caddyshack.com to look at it.

        Well, I can tell you this much, I like the landau style, mainly because it seems most hearse-like. Any idea how many of these were made as combos, and are still around? And just out of curiosity, do they still make combination cars?

          The last combos were made in the late 70's. There were changes in the EMS standard of transportation. So, in the early 80's, all you see is straight hearses. Ambulances were being made from van bodies which had more room for supplies and such.

            The last combo was built in 84, I think it was a Superior. I believe that they only built 4 or 5.
