I am sure Bo would want me to post this picture of the 37 I sold him last year as he just finished and she turned out great.
Great job! What a vision to see this beautiful ambulance emerge from being a plain black hearse.

What engine ended up being in this car ?
He was the right guy to sell the car too !!!
He made it a thing of beauty,

Where did he get the cabinetry and attendant seats?
I'm not really comfortable raising a voice of dissent here, but -- as pretty as this car is, and it's admittedly spectacular -- I'm truly dismayed to see a perfectly original 1937 Miller-LaSalle hearse converted into something it never was. This wasn't some rotted-out hulk rat-rod candidate: it was a nice, straight, authentic funeral coach that managed to survive for three-quarters of a century and could have been easily restored to perfection. What a shame....Walt McCall
May i ask where in VA this beauty was?

I think your opinion and point is well taken and respected.
I agree with you saying how you feel and I agree.
I always say, say it how it is or how you feel on whatever topic it is.
That's what makes people the person they are.
I know Bo is a ambulance guy and it is his car to do whatever he wants and he did.
I would say there are likely very few ambulances from the 30's and likely very few in that condition. I'm sure to him that was a fantastic find for his needs or wants.
The thing I admire about Bo is his ability to restore and preserve cars to the extreme he goes during a restoration. No expense spared and everything to perfect standards. We all wish we could do the same.
I think the job done on this car is outstanding but as a hearse guy myself, I would have liked it to have remained a hearse as well.
Amazing work and the car does look like a thing of beauty.
I would love to see it in person at some point. The paint work looks flawless.
I would say to the average car guy, they wouldn't care about the conversion and I feel more people would rather see this as a ambulance than a hearse.
All hearses have that "death" association and sits uneasy with a lot of people but not to many people have any issues with ambulances.
We can admire it for it's condition and the fact that it is still a outstanding professional car !
Bo has a fantastic car, a incredible collection and a lot of admirers without question.
I hope he keep restoring and adding to his collection.

I fully understand Walt's point. I would not have did this either but Bo does top notch work on his cars. At least it looks correct for the era it is from.
