Re: New one on me!

I'm sure like Dodger said that the frame is all reinforced. Don't forget 
that back them before the age of vans that all your ambulances and hearses 
were built by custom coach companies out of automobiles. Even some motor 
homes were built that way. I knew a woman who had an old motor home that was 
similar to the style you see today with a van front end but the front end on 
this one was a Cadillac, about a 1955 I think. I remember that the Buffalo 
airport had a fleet of these 8 door limos that were 55 or 56 Chrysler sedans 
and that they gradually replaced them with 8 door Checker cabs. When Dodge 
came out with it's 15 passenger Maxi vans they gradually replaced the 
Checkers. Btw I just remembered there was a similar vehicle on ebay last 
year but it was built for  a funeral home. It was a 60 or 61 Chrysler 
station wagon.
