New deliveries, coach dealer inventory ads

My small contribution. Scanned this from an old FD mag (one of the few), I found at work. This place was operated through a GM (mainly Pontiac, according to local residents), dealership, and sold many coaches to places in Canada's Maritime provinces, including my '80 Superior.

From the August 1975 Casket & Sunnyside - Armbruster Stageway six door limousines delivered to the Schoedinger family. I was going to crop the photo to just the image and caption, but I decided to leave in the title for the article below it as it's a nod to my buddy, Dr. Mo :)

From the NORTHEAST FUNERAL DIRECTOR, April, 1964:

M-M's "Worth-More" program for used cars offered advertising for all cars in the inventory of its dealers nationwide. This was done using two-page ads (as seen in replies 53 and 56 in this thread) in funeral service publications.

In addition, brochures like this one from 1966 or 67 were offered occasionally to dealers for mailing use:

Great stuff, Steve! As much as I like decked out rigs, I think that '64 M-M in photo #18 is a little over the top. Also, surprised that the dealer was out a year on #20, which of course is a '61 Flxible Flxette.

This stuff makes me realize that I was born 20 years too late, but if that wasn't the case, I would be dead by now, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
 
I noticed in a number of the ads for combinations.... they highlight that it was NEVER used as an Ambulance that I am sure was quite a selling point for lessening the possibility of one being driven hard and put away wet. MM

Also no ring around the the perimeter of the beacon ray/roof plug.
